Wheelchair-accessible taxi dispatch in Glasgow — WAV-only pool, quota tracking, paratransit-ready.

Taxi dispatch system calibrated for wheelchair / wav work in Glasgow. TfL and council-licensed PHV ready. WAV-only driver pool, accessibility quotas, paratransit subsidy tracking.

Wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) dispatch is the operation of trips for wheelchair users using vehicles with appropriate ramps or lifts. It requires a dedicated WAV-trained driver pool, accessibility-quota reporting (in jurisdictions where quotas apply), and integration with publicly-funded paratransit programmes that subsidise trips at a per-trip rate.

Glasgow wheelchair / wav dispatch — the operating reality

WAV dispatch fails when WAV-tagged trips can be offered to non-WAV vehicles. The Aurora console enforces vehicle and driver eligibility at the dispatch layer: only WAV-trained drivers in WAV-equipped vehicles are offered the trip; substitutions require explicit dispatcher override.

Glasgow wheelchair / wav dispatch — how TaxiCloud handles it

Accessibility quota reporting (where the jurisdiction runs a quota programme) is automatic: WAV trips are counted, the operator's quota balance is tracked, and the monthly summary exports cleanly to the regulator.

Paratransit subsidy programmes (Access-a-Ride, THE RIDE, Access Cabs, equivalent) are supported via per-programme account configuration; subsidy amounts pre-deduct from the rider invoice and roll up into the operator's monthly settlement claim.
