• Information on accessibility improvements to conventional TTC (bus/streetcar/subway)
• Updates on the Wheel-Trans 10 Year Strategy including new programs such as Family of Services, Community Bus enhancements and Travel Training
• ACAT members answering questions and gathering feedback on TTC accessible services
• Registration for travel training to learn how to use TTC conventional fixed-route services such as bus, subway and streetcar.

Let’s help plan your Family of Services Trip

With TTC’s Family of Services, Wheel-Trans customers have access to more independent and flexible travel options. Customers can book Wheel-Trans trips that connect to accessible subway stations and select bus stops across the city. Whether you are a customer who has been approved for Wheel-Trans service with conditional eligibility or if you are a Wheel-Trans customer who likes to take conventional transit (bus, Community Bus, subway, streetcar) Wheel-Trans staff can plan your entire journey.  Learn more about Family of Services.

Family of Services Pilot now includes connections to bus stops

Wheel-Trans customers can now book trips to select conventional bus stops across the city as part of the Family of Services Pilot.  The thoughtfully selected stops are along five designated routes:  29 Dufferin, 85 Sheppard East, 84 Sheppard West, 95 York Mills and 97 Yonge. Connecting Wheel-Trans customers to bus stops is an important milestone along the TTC’s journey to provide Wheel-Trans customers with more independent and flexible travel options. Learn more.
