Liverpool City Council has announced that it is currently running a survey to review the current supply and demand for wheelchair accessible vehicles (WAVs), as well as other adaptations or assistance that people using hackney or private hire vehicles may need. WAVs are special vehicles that have been adapted by mobility experts to allow disabled passengers to travel in their wheelchairs. The survey comes as the City Council is considering options to improve its transportation services for wheelchair users, and they are particularly eager to hear from parents and carers of children and young people with additional needs.

The City Council is aiming to use the survey’s feedback to help them make informed decisions regarding any necessary adjustments or improvements. Wheelchair and mobility advocates are highly encouraged to take part in the survey, as their unique insights could be a huge benefit to the improvement process.
The survey is accessible online, and all those interested in taking part can click the link and have their voices heard. The survey is open for participation until March 31.
