it's not saying that they toshiba -- it has to be that the ramp taxi medallion holder provides a service that has a record of exemplary service to passengers who use wheelchairs. * so, i don't know if i read that, that it has to be the ramp taxis that have provided service, that the company services wheelchair users. thank you. >> well, the way that we're looking at it is for the service done by the vehicle itself. so, we're not looking at the particular driver -- for instance, right now, the requirement is that there are 8 wheelchair pick ups per month. it's not driver specific. it's vehicle specific. so, we recognize that, you know, there aren't as many pick ups in the evening so that driver won't have as many. but medallion holders responsible currently for making sure there are at least 8 pick ups per month. right now, this responsibility would transfer to the company to ensure there are at least 8 wheelchair pick ups per month on each ramp vehicle. our wheelchair clients do also take some sedans as well. a lot of it is because they are a little bit lower to the ground, easier to get
