The Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) is a subsidy program
administered by the Victorian Taxi Directorate within the
Department of Transport. The MPTP makes taxi travel more accessible
for Victorians with a severe and permanent disability by providing
a 50 per cent fare subsidy, with a cap of $1 090 per year.
The government announced that from 13 December 2008, the MPTP fare
subsidy will increase from $30 to $60 per trip and the annual
subsidy cap from $1 090 to
$2 180.
This report examined: whether
projections of service demand are soundly based; the
effectiveness of organisational arrangements for monitoring and
assessing service demand; the extent to which projected demand
and cost pressures are likely to affect the long-term
sustainability of the program; the degree to which robust controls
are in place to safeguard against fraud.
