Mission

The Transportation Task Force advocates for fully accessible transportation across all modes. Transportation should be affordable, equitable, sustainable, and reliable. People with disabilities should be able to travel on their own or with support. They should also be able to choose how they live in the community. The Task Force follows our Anti-Racism Principles agreed to in July 2021. (URL: https://www.c-c-d.org/fichiers/CCD-Transpo-TF-Racial-Equity-One-Pager.pdf)
