CILT’s Transit Shelter Brings Awareness to a Lack of Accessibility

People in Toronto have been seeing fully enclosed glass transit shelters that are completely incapable of providing any kind of protection from the elements at all, helping to bring awareness to the challenges that poor designs cause for people with disabilities every day. The Centre for Independent Living in Toronto (CILT) and the City of Toronto collaborated on this campaign and accompanied the closed-in shelters with bus shelter messages that say: “Feeling left out?” and remind people that over 400,000 people in the city with disabilities feel the same way.

The Inaccessible Transit Shelter has the potential to serve as a call to action, leading people to a website where they can learn what part they can play in making the city a more accessible space for all.
