2023 Public Forum on Accessible Transit
On October 23, 2023, TTC Board members, management and staff, and members of the Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit (ACAT) hosted the TTC’s Public Forum on Accessible Transit in a hybrid (in-person and virtual) format. This event is held annually to hear from the public about the accessibility of conventional TTC and door-to-door (Wheel-Trans) public transit services in Toronto.
TTC staff shared a presentation highlighting recent accessibility initiatives and plans for the continued improvement of transit in Toronto, including the Wheel-Trans 10-year Strategy, Family of Services, and the Easier Access project initiatives. The presentation was followed by a facilitated question and answer period, which provided the opportunity for customers to ask questions, share their experiences, provide feedback, concerns and other comments directly to a panel of senior management and the ACAT Chair.
Approximately 120 people participated in the event in-person (at the Toronto Reference Library) and online. Feedback gathered through the event will be used to inform the TTC’s accessibility planning activities.
