Metro Taxi Supports Communities Across Connecticut

In a recent decision, the Connecticut DOT denied the permits that are necessary for Metro Taxi of West Haven and The Yellow Cab Co. of Bloomfield to expand our service and licensed territory. The permits would have facilitated our ability to purchase 140 wheelchair-accessible taxis through a U.S. Dept. of Energy grant. Read More About our DOT Roadblock »

The DOT’s decision obstructs a large population’s ability and freedom to work and socialize spontaneously as everyone else, and can only be perceived as an affront to Connecticut’s disability community, their families, friends, and colleagues. Having only three wheelchair-accessible taxis in a state of 3.5 million, shamefully shows how far Connecticut trails behind in what people with disabilities value most – equality and 24/7 accessibility.

Where We Are Going

Our goal is to provide equal-access transportation. That means new freedom for people with mobility disabilities 24/7. Metro Access has an extensive service area so Greater New Haven Transit District passengers will be able to travel beyond current GNHTD boundaries.

Our customers appreciate our backseat credit card devices.
Our Metro Taxi Cash-less Cab Ride debit cards and Major credit cards for taxi trips have
increased over 500%! That's a big number! Safety is our number one priority!
You don't need cash to take a Metro Taxi.

Where We've Been

Metro Taxi Goes Au Natural
A Sept. 26 ribbon-cutting at West Haven-based Metro Taxi celebrated the city's first public access compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station.

From left to right are State Senator Tony Harp; Senator Richard Blumenthal; Isabelle Scalzi, Vice President and Business Development Manager Metro Taxi; Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro; House Majority Leader Brendan Sharkey; Michelle Duprey, Director of the City of New Haven's Department of Services for Persons with Disabilities; Andrew Littlefair, President and CEO Clean Energy; West Haven Mayor John Picard; Brian Perrone, Business Development Manager Clean Energy; Bill Scalzi, President and CEO Metro Taxi; and Mark Klein, Vice President Clean Energy. This event showcased "Metro Access," the state's first wheelchair-accessible, CNG-powered taxicab.

Clean Energy built the CNG station at Metro Taxi's headquarters on 65 Industry Drive. It is part of the Connecticut Clean Cities Future Fuels Project, the largest public/private partnership in the state's history, working together under nearly $13.2 million of funding from a U.S. Department of Energy Grant, American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Metro Taxi's fuel station will serve anyone in the public operating a CNG vehicle.

Metro Taxi continues to play an active role in the many communities it serves by sponsoring neighborhood events, youth sports teams, holiday toy drives and supporting communities and educational initiatives. No different from our business hours, for us, the giving season is all year long; 24/7.
