TaxiAccess

TaxiAccess is a program that provides subsidized taxicab service to Fairfax County residents who are registered with MetroAccess. The program is operated by the Department of Neighborhood and Community Services (NCS) under the direction and support of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

How Much Does it Cost?

TaxiAccess users have the opportunity to purchase coupon books good toward taxicab rides at one-third of the face value. Each book costs $10 and contains eleven $3 coupons for a total value of $33 per book.

Participants can purchase up to eight coupon books per year and the coupons can be used with any of the four taxicab providers licensed to do business in Fairfax County.

The $3 coupons can be used for the taxicab fare, companion fare and the driver’s tip. Coupons may be combined with cash if needed; however, drivers cannot give change for coupons.
