Taxi refuses service to disabled woman

Many community members might be shocked about this story, but for many people with disabilities this is an all too familiar reality. Relying on public transportation can be a nightmare due to lack of training of drivers and negative attitudes about people with disabilities.

Taxi refuses service to disabled woman

IL Vernon is always looking for input about disability issues. If people have experiences they wish share about using accessible transportation in Vernon and Area, please let contact IL Vernon!

Thank you
Laura Hockman
