Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations
About this resource
One of the CTA's core mandates is to protect the fundamental right of persons with disabilities to accessible transportation services. The ATPDR help do this by providing a set of clear, consistent accessibility requirements for all types of federally-regulated transportation.
The Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) has built on its various accessibility instruments – six codes and two older regulations – as well as best practices in Canada and around the world to create a single, robust, legally binding Accessible Transportation for Persons with Disabilities Regulations (ATPDR).
These regulations reflect input received by the CTA from persons with disabilities, industry, members of the CTA's Accessibility Advisory Committee, and the general public during several rounds of consultation between 2016 and 2019.
The ATPDR cover all modes of transport under our jurisdiction – air, and interprovincial and international passenger rail, bus, and ferry – as well as security and border screening. The accessibility requirements in the ATPDR will be enforceable by administrative monetary penalties.
