OTTAWA -The capital’s transit service for the disabled will soon be available to a lot more than only those with physical disabilities.
Ottawa City Council has approved the proposal to allow those whose mental health and developmental disorders make it difficult or impossible for them to use regular transit to use Para Transpo.
