How many TTC stations are accessible?

Toronto Transit Commission Prioritizes Accessibility: Over 80% of TTC Stations Accessible

The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) places a high priority on accessibility, and is continually striving to make its services accessible to all riders. Currently, 55 out of 70 TTC subway stations are accessible to wheelchair users and others with mobility needs. This represents over 80% of the system, and is a significant improvement over the past few years.

In 2020, the TTC set a goal of making all of its subway stations accessible by 2025. While this goal may be slightly delayed, the TTC remains committed to ensuring that all riders have convenient access to its services.

The TTC has made a number of improvements to its stations in recent years to make them more accessible. These improvements include:

• Installing elevators at all stations
• Widening station entrances and fare gates
• Adding tactile paving to guide people with visual impairments
• Providing audio announcements for station information

The TTC is also working to make its buses and streetcars more accessible. All new buses and streetcars are now accessible, and the TTC is working to retrofit older vehicles.

The TTC's commitment to accessibility is evident in its recent announcement that it will be investing $1.5 billion over the next five years to make its services more accessible. This investment will be used to:

• Make all subway stations accessible
• Retrofit buses and streetcars to make them accessible
• Improve accessibility at bus stops and streetcar stops
• Provide training for TTC staff on how to assist riders with disabilities

The TTC's commitment to accessibility is commendable. By making its services accessible to all riders, the TTC is helping to create a more inclusive and equitable city.
