Checker Taxi has built our entire business model around providing affordable and caring accessible transportation to people who may require it. Pioneers in accessible transportation in Toronto since the early 1990’s, we were the first to offer an on-demand accessible taxi service for the public in the City of Toronto. Today Checker Taxi has over 90 Vehicles and is the only taxi brokerage in the City of Toronto whose entire fleet consists of fully accessible Toronto taxi plated vehicles. Annually we service over 200,000 trips in Toronto and see roughly see 10% increase in demand year after year.

Our knowledge in the field regarding safety, rider experience, vehicle

requirements, driver training and sensitivity has given us the privilege
