The Taxi Coupon Program is a pilot project that allows Para Transpo customers to take discounted taxi service as an alternative to Para Transpo. You can book your trip, at your convenience, with participating Ottawa taxi companies and save 40% off the regular taxi fare.

All registered Para Transpo customers are eligible to participate in the Taxi Coupon Program.
You need a Para Transpo photo identification card in order to use the coupons. If you are registered but don’t have a card, you can get one at an OC Transpo Sales Centre or call 613-741-4390 for information. The cards are free.
The cost is $24 for a coupon book worth $40 in taxi fares. Each book has a selection of $1, $2, and $5 coupons. An eligible customer can buy up to four coupon books each month.
Coupons are not refundable and lost or stolen coupons will not be reimbursed. Coupons are for the sole use of the Para Transpo customer who buys them. They cannot be resold or given to anyone else. Anyone who abuses this policy will be ineligible to participate in the program.
For customers with a visual impairment, the coupons are identified with hole punches for the different values.
You can order by phone or mail, but please allow two weeks for delivery. Order forms are available from this link.
