In the third part of the Paper, the development in Ontario of accessible transit services is reviewed, with a discussion of the relationship between various levels of government and their historical responsibility for funding, and the impact of the recent transfer of funding to municipalities.
Transit services are part of the public infrastructure, which provides access to basic goods and services, as well as to social and economic activities.
For example, Kitchener Transit described its objective as "reliable pick-up and return service" while St. Catharines’ accessible transit objective is to ensure that patrons are able to "travel from their homes to bus stops in a barrier-free environment." The Town of Markham wrote about the “dilemma” of how to achieve full accessibility.
