The goal of Tackling Transportation is to use a collaborative approach to improve the accessible public transportation service in Calgary used by people with disabilities, seniors and other citizens with mobility issues. Working in partnership with an advisory group consisting of Access Calgary and agencies representing people who use Access Calgary’s service, the project aims to understand some of the service challenges and issues, and to develop resources for consumers, service providers and the community at large.

Funded in part by the Calgary Region Community Board, Persons with Developmental Disabilities, Community Capacity Funds.
