Description

Specialties

Union Cab provides safe and efficient direct taxi service (no sharing with strangers) and fast courier service of important packages. We see customer satisfaction as everyone’s job and consider safety to be more than a «goal» but a core value of our company. As a worker owned and operated co-​operative, we are dedicated to worker rights and safety and that pays dividends to our customers.

History

Established in 1979.

After ten years of fighting for a safe and humane workplace, Madison area cab drivers formed their own company to provide living wage jobs in a safe, humane and democratic environment. The loyalty of our workers builds from their ownership of the business. This, in turn, creates one of the best taxi experiences for the consumer who has direct access to the decision makers of the company – the drivers. The co-​operative helped start the Tavern League Saferider program as well as the UW Campus SAFEride program. During the 1990’s, Union Cab operated a paratransit service and provided school busing for children with special needs. Today, Union Cab has about 260 members (worker owners) and also operates Union Cab of Sun Prairie, a share ride, city subsidized cab service. Union Cab is the only cab company to offer wheelchair accessible vehicles and is exploring a viable option for alternative fuel vehicles.
