The SAC is pleased to announce the introduction of ‘Ask-Listen-Act’, an enhanced training program that helps educate taxi drivers about providing appropriate services for older adults and people with disabilities.
SAC’s Transportation and Mobility Subcommittee, in partnership with the Persons with Disabilities Advisory Committee, was instrumental in informing the curriculum for the new program, which is among the first of its kind in Canada.
Training for Vancouver’s taxi companies–Black Top Checker Cabs, Maclures Cabs, Vancouver Taxi, and Yellow Cab–will launch February 3. SAC looks forward to seeing how the training is received by taxi drivers and how effective it is in helping them provide better service to their clients.
