Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Study
With an aging population, the Region is
aware of the increasing need to provide transportation
for persons with disabilities. As part of the Region's
Long Range Transportation Planning initiative,we have
undertaken a study to examine the unique transportation
needs of each disability group included in the Ontarians
with Disabilities Act.
The goals of the Transportation for Persons with Disabilities
Study are:
- To provide an overview on the transportation needs
and demand for persons with disabilities
- To identify and establish a strategy to provide
quality transportation service for persons with disabilities
in Peel
The study will estimate the proportion of travel needs
including accessible fixed-route transit, specialized
transit or para-transit, voluntary sector and private
modes including taxis. Based on the demand, the study
will also recommend options for future coordination,
funding and cost effective delivery of the various modes
of transportation that will be supported by the Region.
The study report was completed in April 2004.
