Deputy Imelda Munster asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the grants available for taxi operators to purchase wheelchair accessible vehicles; the eligibility for persons who wish to apply for grant aid to purchase wheelchair accessible vehicles; and if these grants are available to individual drivers planning to purchase one vehicle in addition to taxi companies that may wish to purchase multiple vehicles.

View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013. The NTA also administers the wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV) grant scheme for the SPSV sector.
Accordingly, I have referred your questions to the NTA for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
