In July 2019, the Accessible Canada Act strives to make Canada barrier-free by January 1, 2040. To do so the Act requires us to identify, remove and prevent barriers in federal jurisdiction in seven of priority areas.
A "barrier" is anything that keeps a person with a disability from participating fully and equally in society. A "disability" is any physical, mental, intellectual, cognitive, learning, communication or sensory impairment or functional limitation.
We want to hear if you've experienced a barrier while dealing with the department about:
- working at Transport Canada
- offices or facilities
- information communication technologies
- other communication technologies
- buying goods, services, or facilities
- how programs or services are designed or delivered
- transportation
