**News Release**
Pat And The Elephant is proud to be part of a new accessible taxi pilot project coming to the capital region this June.
Through a joint investment from the Government of Prince Edward Island, the City of Charlottetown, the Town of Stratford, and the Town of Cornwall, a new seven-passenger, wheelchair-accessible van will soon be in service. The vehicle can accommodate two wheelchairs and will operate seven days a week, with extended hours on weekends.
This pilot project is an important step toward improving accessible transportation options for Islanders and visitors, helping more people take part in work, appointments, community events, recreation, and everyday life.
“Pat and The Elephant is proud to support initiatives that strengthen connection, inclusion, and independence within our communities. Accessible and reliable transportation plays a vital role in ensuring individuals can fully participate in everyday life. We are grateful to be part of a collaborative effort that helps remove barriers and improve quality of life across Prince Edward Island.”
— Steve Brosseau, President of Board, Pat And The Elephant
We are grateful to all partners involved, including ResourceAbilities and the Spinal Cord Injury Association of PEI, for their work in helping move this initiative forward.
More details, including rates and booking information, will be shared as they become available.
