Accessibility standards

Government will develop accessibility standards in the following areas:

• Information and Communication – ensuring all people can receive, understand, and share the information they need

• Transportation – making it easier for everyone to get where they need to go

• Employment – making workplaces accessible, and supporting people with disabilities in finding meaningful employment

• Built Environment – making public buildings, streets, sidewalks, and shared spaces accessible to all

• Education – making the education system accessible to all students, from early childhood to post-secondary
