A local group wants to make it easier for people needing #paratransit to easily get on board services across #Ontario. Paratransit is for people who cannot easily access #PublicTransit due to their age or #disability.

The goal is to create a #ProvinceWide eligibility process so that qualified people can use specialized public transit services anywhere in Ontario. This can be very important for those who need to travel for treatment or appointments to different cities.
