Transportation
What this priority area is about
Under the Accessible Canada Act, this priority area is about making every stage of the travel journey accessible and equitable. This means designing travel infrastructure and services that meet diverse needs.
Why it matters
Accessible transportation ensures people can travel safely, independently, and with dignity.
Including accessibility from the start helps make travel journeys more seamless for everyone. This means designing accessible:
- planning and booking systems
- drop‑off and parking areas
- terminal navigation
- boarding processes
- other parts of the travel experience within Canadian jurisdiction
These practices help passengers get where they need to go and take part fully in everyday life.
