ADDISON, Texas (Dec. 4, 2013)—HASCO Medical, Inc., a company that conducts sales of handicap accessible vans, parts, service and rental operations in eighteen locations from Maine to Florida and sales of medical equipment and supplies in Florida, today announced receiving orders for approximately 80 wheelchair accessible taxi cabs to be deployed in the New York City market.
In mid-November the city of New York released 200 ADA medallions for auction to taxi owners. HASCO has secured the inventory to fulfill two orders they have received from taxi companies for approximately 80 of these medallions. The city of New York has stated that they plan to release another 1800 medallions for auction over the next three years. Currently, according to New York there are 233 handicapped accessible taxis on the road. These auctions will almost double the fleet on the roads of accessible taxis.
Hal Compton CEO of HASCO Medical states, "This is such a great purchase for our company and a huge win for our customer base. HASCO will continue to work with more taxi companies in various states to continue to provide accessible vehicles for every person that requires one." Visit hascomed.com.
