Wheelchair-accessible taxicabs are now available for use by Cambridge residents and visitors. These taxicabs (some vans, some minivans) serve the general public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Priority service is given to elderly and disabled passengers. Cambridge accessible taxicabs operate as any other Cambridge taxi: they may be flagged down on the street, boarded at a taxi stand, or contacted by telephone. For an accessible Cambridge taxicab, call

Accessible Cambridge Taxi (ACT) at 1-888-872-6721

ACT staff handle dispatching for the City's seven accessible taxicabs.

Regular Cambridge taxi meter rates are in effect for all accessible taxicab service. The taxi meter starts at $1.95 for the first 2/8 mile, and 40¢ for each additional 1/8 mile.
