From Accessible Taxi

Yesterday, Tuesday, February 28th, Partners for Access brought an accessible vehicle for our students to see that could be used as an accessible taxi. Many of our students in grades 10-RAMP were able to board the taxi which may provide great travel opportunities for them in the future. Some students even thought that this vehicle may be something that they may purchase in the future in lieu of a full sized van. We thank Partners for Access for giving our students this opportunity and are very excited about the possibilities.
