Rhode Island commissioner: Lack of accessible vehicles 'deterred tourists from coming to Rhode Island'

October 28, 2008

Excerpt: "Coderre won her award, along with Warwick Sen. William Walaska, for passing legislation that gives tax breaks for adapting taxicabs and other public motor carriers to accommodate wheelchairs.

Bob Cooper, executive director of the commission, said the lack of handicap accessible cabs "deterred tourists from coming to Rhode Island" because they often could not get around once they got here."
