Workshop Descriptions:
Wheel-Trans and Family of Service (FOS) 101 on Wednesday April 22nd:
This workshop is designed for those who are new to using Wheel-Trans and have questions about their eligibility and the application process, what the Family of Services (FOS) model is, how to challenge their eligibility category, and other Wheel-Trans issues. The workshop goes in-depth on how to apply for Wheel-Trans and how to appeal conditional eligibility, with the goal of empowering participants and making overly complex, bureaucratic procedures feel more approachable.
Wheel-Trans: Know Your Rights on Wednesday April 29th
This workshop is part of TTCriders’ Know Your Transit Rights project, which aims to empower riders and help them understand their legal rights while using the TTC. This workshop is designed for Wheel-Trans users who are interested in understanding the rights they have before, during, and after Wheel-Trans trips and how to exercise these rights. The workshop covers topics such as the responsibilities of Wheel-Trans operators, how to make sure your trip is as accessible for you as possible, the Code of Conduct policy, traveling with support persons and animals, and appealing your eligibility category or suspension of service.
