Regency Taxi Launches Montgomery County’s First Hybrid Wheelchair-Accessible Taxi

Abdellatif Ouardi, an affiliate taxicab operator with Regency Taxi, is driving the first hybrid wheelchair-accessible taxi in Montgomery County.  The taxi, which was purchased by Mr. Ouardi, has been providing accessible service to residents who are disabled for the past few months. 

“Being able to provide wheelchair-accessible transportation to residents who need that assistance is great,” said Mr. Ouardi. “As a micro-business owner, not having to worry as much about sudden spikes in the cost of gas, and reducing my environmental footprint are also things that can help my business grow”. Residents can reserve a trip with this vehicle by visiting the Regency Taxi’s website here or by calling 301-990-9000.
