TTC's Annual Public Forum on Accessible Transit

Mark your calendars for the TTC’s 16th Annual  Public Forum on Accessible Transit! We are returning to an in-person event along with an option to join us virtually. It is a unique opportunity to meet the TTC management, staff and members of the TTC’s Advisory Committee on Accessible Transit (ACAT), and learn about the exciting changes happening across the TTC.

Date: Monday, October 23, 2023

Location: Toronto Reference Library  
(789 Yonge Street), Bram and Bluma Appel Salon

Marketplace (6 to 7 p.m.): Participants can view display boards about various accessibility initiatives at the TTC, and interact with the TTC staff.

Forum (7 to 9 p.m.): The Forum is similar to a town hall event, where a speaker’s panel will comprise TTC board members and staff. The panel will discuss TTC’s accessibility accomplishments over the past year, followed by a moderated Q&A session.
