On-demand accessible transportation in the GTA is becoming increasingly difficult to access.
Before the pandemic, vehicle-for-hire services looked promising for the disability community, with wheelchair-accessible vehicles available on the Uber app within 10-15 minutes. However, for the past few years, this service has rarely been available.
Accessible taxis are equally difficult to access, with wait times of several hours or ongoing waitlists. People with disabilities need their independence back with access to the same services as their fellow residents without disabilities.
We are working with the City of Toronto and recommending the following actions to ensure an equitable on-demand transportation service:
Sign our petition and share it widely to help implement accessible on-demand transportation.
We rely on your donations to support the spinal cord injury community.
Are you ready to kickstart your fundraiser? Fill out the form, and we’ll send you our comprehensive Fundraising Toolkit along with any other materials you might need.
Just say “Yes! Sign me up!” and you can improve accessibility in Ontario and help us serve, support and advocate for and with people with spinal cord injury and other disabilities.
There really is strength in numbers.
Please complete this form and we will contact you after receipt to confirm participation, obtain complete details about your study including any supporting materials, and answer any questions.
