WHERE California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) California, USA. | “Seniors will be given a fair shake and we will do everything possible to make sure they understand the reasons behind any issue that may impact their driving privileges. – dmv.ca.gov This program is still the first and only one of its kind in the nation,’ said DMV Director George Valverde. ‘We are proud of the way the Ombudsman Office has enabled California to more effectively deal with a hugely important segment of our current customer base – older drivers. The office is playing a critical role in helping to formulate strategies to meet the future needs of baby boomers, who will comprise an even larger segment of the driving public within the next 15 years.’ “ |

Para-Taxi is offered in addition to the Dial-A-Ride paratransit service. You are encouraged to use taxis and TNC’s (Transit Network Companies) such as Uber and Lyft for some of the trips you would normally use Dial-A-Ride. The Para-Taxi Program offers many advantages over Dial-A-Ride, such as same day and direct service. This means you travel on your schedule, not Dial-A-Ride’s. You don’t have to share the ride, which means you get to your destination faster! Para-Taxi is great for return trips and the final cost after the reimbursement is often less than a Dial-A-Ride ticket. If you wish to travel with a friend, there is no extra charge. Para-Taxi is easy to use and with just three easy steps, you’ll find it more convenient than ever to get around town. Pay your taxi driver the full meter fare at the end of your trip, as you would typically do when you use taxi service. Ask the driver for a receipt at the end of your trip. Fill out the Reimbursement Request Form [PDF] form and return it along with your receipt to Wheels to receive reimbursement for a portion of your taxi ride.
