Dear Para Transpo riders and friends,
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Please share your experiences with booking and riding the service and include the hashtag #ParaParity
We are fighting for equity with the Para Transpo service as well as accessible transportation with the O-Train which has 4 spots per car (8 per train) for people who use wheelchairs AND parents with strollers, while they have 160 seats or 200 standing room. This means 2% of the car is going to be allotted to much more than 10% of the population.
It is long past due that the service got an upgrade, and if City Council says 10% of the Ottawa population isn’t worth 4% of the $2.1 billion that the O-Train costs... then it is time to speak up, speak out, and speak against these issues!
