Handicap accessibility on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) system is limited but improving. As is true for most mass transit systems, most of the Toronto subway and RT was built before wheelchair access was a requirement. However, all new subway stations built since 1996 are equipped with elevators, and elevators have been installed in 23 stations built before 1996, including one station that was expanded in 2002, Sheppard-Yonge).

  • Handicap accessibility on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) system is limited but improving. As is true for most mass transit systems, most of the Toronto subway and RT was built before wheelchair access was a requirement. However, all new subway stations built since 1996 are equipped with elevators, and elevators have been installed in 23 stations built before 1996, including one station that was expanded in 2002, Sheppard-Yonge). A total of 28 out of Toronto's 69 subway and Scarborough RT stations are accessible. Furthermore, 140 of the TTC's 167 bus routes (including community and night bus routes) are accessible as of February 15, 2009. Currently, the TTC's streetcar network is not accessible; however, the fleet is planned to be gradually replaced with modern, low-floor vehicles in the near future.
