Hail your taxi – on the road to independence

If you’re a taxi user with disability in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria or Western Australia then you’re going to want to know about this!

A dedicated disability taxi service has launched with a host of tech features that allow you to keep track of your travel spending, see your average trip costs and even nominate your preferred driver – plus much more.

Through the new Black & White Cabs service, Disability Accessibility Support Hub (DASH), you can access a dedicated support manager, nominate a preferred driver, set up a credit account, and take advantage of technology designed to help you monitor your trips and travel spending. You can also elect to receive alerts when your account balance is getting low.

For extra peace of mind, if you reach your account limit or your agreement with DASH expires, your account will be placed on hold. This means you can’t accidentally spend outside of your budget.

And, because you can see your average trip spending on DASH, the service can help you to estimate how many trips you have left with your remaining funding, so you can plan ahead.

Your information is kept private, but you can choose to let your plan manager (us!) or your support coordinator have access to a dashboard to track your trips and spending, which may help with assessing trends in your travel – and preparing for your plan reassessment.
