Moving the Disabled Around Vaughan, Toronto and the GTA

My son Anthony is 46 years old, disabled and needs a wheelchair. Currently I drive him to his therapy appts, usually in Toronto area. I am a widowed senior (73 years old) who wants to stay living in Vaughan, but when I can't drive anymore, Anthony will not be able to go to these appts. To go from my home to the 404 & Finch, it would take almost 4 hours, accessing YRT & TTC wheeltrans.

I am requesting: a) allowing the YRT to take him into Toronto & the TTC Wheeltrans to bring him home. OR b) open up the blockade at Steeles Ave. and allow the disabled to travel freely, amalgamate the accessible travel.

It would take less time and energy to use only 1 bus to destination and only 1 bus to go home. I have hoped for years that this amalgamation would happen but we are still at the starting gate.

With thanks, Maria
