How it Works
Taxi Saver provides a 50% subsidy towards the cost of taxi
rides. Eligible individuals can purchase a $80 package of
Taxi Saver coupons at a cost of $40. This package can be purchased
once every month. The coupons come in denominations of $1,
$2 and $5.
The handyDART client uses the coupons to pay the dollar meter
rate of taxi fare. For example, if a taxi fare is $5.80, the
passenger pays $5.00 in coupons and 80 cents in change. (Taxi
drivers do not give change on Taxi Saver coupons.)
Eligibility
Seniors and persons with a disability who are 16 years of
age or older, and are in possession of a handyPASS,
may buy and use Taxi Saver coupons. Call the municipal office
at 494-6451 for more information.
Booking a Trip
Call Summerland Taxi at 494-6651 to book a trip. Please tell
the dispatcher that you are booking a Taxi Saver trip, and
have your handyPASS available when you take the trip.
