WAV Hotline: (202) 977-4928
This initiative aims to further improve accessibility and convenience for passengers who require wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs).
How do I book a trip using the new hotline?
- Customers must call the (202) 977-4WAV number.
- The system will greet the customer and ask for the zip code or Quadrant they’re in, the customer can type or say their location when prompted.
- After a few seconds, the telephone system will inform the customer of the taxi company with the closest WAV and ask if they would like to be connected. The system will also ask the customer if they prefer to be connected to a different company.
- The telephone system will then transfer the customer to the WAV provider.
- If the provider is unable to fulfill the request within 15 minutes they will transfer the customer to a different provider.
- Trips using the WAV Hotline will be charged at taxi meter rates.
- Fares can be paid using cash or credit card.
