A county wants to use ride-sourcing as part of its Guaranteed Ride Home Program, but the ride-sourcing companies lack accessible vehicles. The county considers a more expensive taxi company with accessible vans. Can the county charge passengers more?

No. Riders requiring accessible vehicles cannot be charged a higher fare. The cost of providing accessible vehicles must be borne by the county’s Guaranteed Ride Home Program.
