Taxi Access Program (TAP)

The Taxi Access Program (TAP) is a supplemental transportation option for people who are eligible for the Transit Plus program. This service is available on weekdays and weekends within Frederick County, based on taxi availability.

TAP eligibility:

Seniors 60+ and people with disabilities

The card is swiped by participating taxi companies to pay the fare.
