Toward transit without barriers
Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit - ACATTTC’s Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit provides advice and guidance to the TTC Board and TTC staff on improvements to conventional, Wheel-Trans and Community Bus services to better meet the needs and concerns of all riders. The committee reports directly to the TTC Board and provides feedback on:
- Accessibility features of new buses, streetcars, subway trains and stations
- Wheel-Trans eligibility criteria, the application process, trip booking and Family of Services
- Technology improvements, such as Trip Planner and ttc.ca
- Priority seating: blue seat fabric, flip down seats, ‘please offer me a seat’ program
- Training of TTC Operators, Collectors and Customer Service Agents (CSAs) regarding accessible services at the TTC.
- Check out past ACAT agendas and minutes.
