URBAN TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR PHYSICALLY DISABLED PERSONS IN CANADA. INFORMATION DIRECTORY

This directory serves as a guide for disabled consumers traveling in Canada and also is of some benefit to those considering implementation of a transportation system in their community. It is based on a questionnaire sent to over 250 services across Canada. Along with being a resource for the handicapped, the information is also intended to encourage the exchange of service and operating information among operators of transit systems and transportation services, to identify variations in operating characteristics of transportation services for handicapped people including funding and implementation, to report on the varying provincial, municipal and federal government jurisdictions in regard to funding the transportation handicapped, and to report on safety procedures and vehicles for transportation of the handicapped.
