The City of Sarnia is looking for input on the current accessible taxi services.
A survey has been launched by the city and the Sarnia Accessibility Advisory Committee (SAAC) to better understand the needs of residents living with a disability and the current accessible transportation landscape.
The survey will not only focus on their experiences with accessible taxis, but also on current city-led accessible transportation services.
Communications Manager Steve Henschel said this will touch on the broader landscape for those living with a disability who may require accommodation for travel services.
"We're really just taking a pulse check on what's being offered in terms of successful taxi services, what barriers might be facing individuals who are seeking accommodation for transportation into the community," he said.
The city is required to engage with the public on accessible taxi services.
Henschel said while it does not offer taxi services directly the city plays a role in the licensing.
"We really want to get some data on what services people are using, what are their experiences and what barriers are they facing and that data will be reviewed by our accessibility advisory committee with any recommendations they can make to council," he said.
The survey will also focus on Sarnia Transits offerings.
"We're certainly cognizant that there is a need in the community and we're doing what we can within out sphere of influence but also looking for that data for ways we can possibly facilitate in other third party services," Henschel said.
The survey can be found on the Speak Up Sarnia website.
It will be open until July 18 at 4:30 p.m.
