Help shape the future of Peels specialized transit.
About TransHelp
TransHelp is Peel’s specialized public transit.
For 40 years, TransHelp has been helping residents with disabilities maintain independence through accessible, door-to-door transportation.
Why the Committee is so important
Seeing the world of accessibility through the lens of our passengers and residents is extremely valuable. TransHelp Advisory Committee (TAC) members are volunteers who are dedicated to improving and evolving TransHelp – an evolution that will happen only by considering all needs and perspectives.
As we plan for the needs of our passengers and our community, it’s a privilege and priority to listen to TAC members.
