Victorian government has announced a $22.7 million package for the Victorian Taxi and Hire Car industry.

This industry has suffered an enormous impact due to the COVID-19 crisis, seeing an 80% drop in taxi demand and close to 100% drop in hire car demand.

Taxis, in particular, are an essential service that play a vitally important role in our society. For many Victorians, taxis are the only form of transport available to them, especially people in wheelchairs and those who live in regional and rural Victoria. The government has an obligation to support taxi services for Victorians who rely on them and to ensure they are there as the economy recovers.
