Accessible Transportation Standard Regulation 60-Day Public Consultation
Whether you are a person with a disability, a community organization, a municipality, or a transportation provider (or other person/organization), we want your feedback.
The Accessible Transportation Standard Regulation is the fourth of five standards under The Accessibility for Manitobans Act (AMA). The AMA sets out a path to remove, reduce and prevent barriers through the development of accessibility standards in five fundamental areas of daily living.
In 2020, the Accessibility Advisory Council (Council) made their recommendations on an Accessible Transportation Standard to the Minister of Families. In developing their recommendations, the Council sought advice from a standard development committee, as well as comments from the public and community disability organizations.
The Manitoba government is pleased to present its draft Accessible Transportation Standard Regulation for public feedback, based on recommendations from the Council.
You can read the draft standard and FAQ’s at the Manitoba Regulatory Consultation Portal.
