The Metro Taxi Community

Where We Are Now

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.

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 Toni Harp, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, Metro Taxi Vice President Isabelle Scalzi, Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, House Majority Leader Brendan Sharkey, Director of New Haven's Department for Persons with Disabilities Michelle DuPrey, Clean Energy CEO Andrew Littlefair, West Haven Mayor John Picard, Clean Energy Business Development Manager Brian Perrone, Metro Taxi President and CEO Bill Scalzi and Clean Energy Vice President Mark Klein. This event debuted Metro Taxi Accessible Service, 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.
