Individuals cannot pursue their personal goals without access to transportation. Since its founding in 1976, CCD has been working to remove obstacles to the mobility of persons with disabilities from the modes of transportation within federal jurisdiction—air, rail, inter-provincial bus, and marine. CCD seeks the adoption of enforceable accessibility regulations for these modes.

CCD shares its expertise on accessible transportation with the Minister of Transport and the Canadian Transportation Agency.

CCD offers a syndicated feed of all English articles.
