The Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) has been providing subsidised travel for Victorians with a disability since 1983. The MPTP helps all Victorians to live a full life, by supporting access to vital medical care or helping to maintain social contact with family and friends.
​
In 2017, the Victorian Government began to expand the MPTP. Initially only for traditional taxi travel, a wider variety of service providers, such as ridesharing services, can now participate in the Program. This has led to greater choices for MPTP members.

However, the expansion has also raised some concerns.
