What is WAV?

Riders who use motorized wheelchairs or scooters can in certain cities request a ride in a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV).

WAV drivers are certified by a third party in safely driving and assisting people with disabilities.

Here are some basics about WAV trips:

  • Requires vehicle capable of loading and securing passengers using wheelchairs.
  • Requires a Passenger Service and Safety (PASS) or similar certification for drivers.
  • Drivers receive UberX and WAV trips.
  • WAV riders require assistance and need to be strapped in, typically resulting in longer trip times.
