Travel for Passengers with Disabilities
Ontario Northland is proud to provide accessible bus and rail services. We accommodate most wheeled mobility devices on our services and passengers can travel with service animals.
It is important to note that not all third-party agency partners who provide passenger pick up and drop off are accessible. Ontario Northland aims to have as many accessible stops as possible, but some remote locations make this challenging. If you have specialized travel needs or want to discuss an accessibly at one of our agency locations, connect directly with one of our ticket agents at passengercare@ontarionorthland.ca or 1-800-461-8558.
