Posting of Final Proposed Accessible Transportation Standard on the Ministry of Community and Social Services’ Website
The final proposed Accessible Transportation Standard, as part of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005, has now been posted on the Ministry of Community and Social Services’ website.
The initial proposed standard for accessible transportation was developed by an external Transportation Standards Development Committee (SDC). This external committee included representatives from the disability community as well as the public and private sectors.
The initial proposed standard was released for its mandatory public review period from June 27, 2007 to September 28, 2007. The committee then revised the initial proposed standard to reflect the public’s input resulting in the final proposed Accessible Transportation Standard.
The final proposed standard has now been submitted to the Minister of Community and Social Services for consideration
