The red line bus schedule covers the residential area in the southwest corner of Town and the blue line bus schedule covers the industrial area of Town. The bus is wheelchair accessible and can hold up to two wheelchairs at a time. The current style of bus requires an individual to access the chair lift at the rear of the bus. When the rear doors are open they cover the vehicles rear lights which impacts the visibility of the vehicle. The Town will be releasing a request for tender for the in-town transit system this fall. The current service contract ends July 2020. The request for tender will require the style of bus to include a side load wheelchair lift. The bus will be required to accommodate ten passengers. Buses are required to meet both accessible vehicle regulation and accessible regulation. The industry practice for the distance which a bus stop serves is a 400 metre radius.

The Town of Tillsonburg is committed to promoting a barrier-free Town for employees, citizens and all who live, work, visit, and invest in Tillsonburg. It is important that the Town continue to plan for the future so that Town facilities and services are accessible and welcoming for everyone. This is the Town’s second Multi-Year Accessibility Plan. The Plan outlines the Town’s strategy to prevent and remove barriers and meet the requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (O. Reg. 191/11). Accessible Format This document is available in an accessible format at request. If you require this document in an accessible format, please contact Donna Wilson, Town Clerk at dewilson@tillsonburg.ca or 519-688-3009 ext. 4040. Consultation Consultation on the plan was conducted with Town of Tillsonburg staff and committees including:  Accessibility Advisory Committee  Senior Leadership Team Structure and Governance The responsibility for the implementation of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) falls within the Office of the Clerk. Accountability for the various clauses within the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (O. Reg. 191/11) is a shared responsibility with departments. The Office of the Clerk is responsible for ensuring compliance at the corporate level and is the focal point for legislative analysis and subject matter expertise. Departments retain the accountability for ensuring that their respective clauses are executed according to legislative requirements pertaining to the service delivery. Accessibility Advisory Committee The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) is a key resource and contributor to accessibility planning issues in all departments of the Town of Tillsonburg. The AAC is a legislatively mandated committee of community volunteers. Presently, the AAC is Town of Tillsonburg Multi-Year Accessibility Plan 2019-2023 Page 4 of 14 comprised of eight members as well as a Town Council representative and Staff Liaison. Accessibility Advisory Committee Mandate: To advise and make recommendations to Council on all matters with respect to the accessibility for persons with disabilities to a municipal building, structure or premises. The meetings are open to the public and are held at the Corporate Office in Suite 203, 200 Broadway, Second Floor. For agendas, or to be notified of a meeting, please contact the Office of the Clerk at clerks@tillsonburg.ca or 519-688-3009, ext. 4040. 2018-2022 Committee Members: Citizen Members: Cindy Allen, Chair Peter Staley, Vice Chair Mike Cerna Michael Kadey Margaret McCrimmon Erin Getty Mark Dickson Jeff Huber Council Representative: Councillor Pete Luciani Staff Liaison: Amelia Jaggard, Deputy Clerk Guiding Legislation Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA) The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) was enacted in 2005. The purpose of the Act is to develop, implement and enforce accessibility standards in order to remove barriers for Ontarians with disabilities in relation to goods, services, facilities, accommodations, employment, structures and premises. Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (O. Reg. 191/11): The Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR) establishes accessibility standards and introduces requirements for:  Accessible Customer Service Standard  Information and Communications Standard  Employment Standard  Transportation Standard  Design of Public Spaces Standard One of the IASR requirements is to prepare a multi-year accessibility plan. This is a shift from annual accessibility planning under the Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2001 (ODA). The multi-year plan must include an organization’s strategy to prevent and remove barriers and meet the requirements in the standards. Each year the organization must report on the progress in implementing the plan. Town of Tillsonburg Multi-Year Accessibility Plan 2019-2023 Page 5 of 14 Customer Service – Ontario Regulation 429/07 The Accessibility Standards for Customer Service establishes accessibility standards for customer service. Ontario Building Code The Ontario Building Code outlines accessibility/barrier-free design requirements in newly constructed buildings and existing buildings that are to be extensively renovated. Ontario Human Rights Code The Ontario Human Rights Code is an individual, complaints-based legislation that addresses discrimination. The Ontario Human Rights Code requires organizations to accommodate people with disabilities to the point of undue hardship. Barrier Identification Attitudinal barriers may result in people with disabilities being treated differently than people without disabilities. Informational and communication barriers arise when a person with a disability cannot easily receive and/or understand information that is available to others. Technological barriers occur when technology or the way it is used does not meet the needs of people with disabilities. Systemic barriers in policies, practices and procedures and result in people with disabilities being treated differently than others or sometimes excluded altogether. Physical and architectural barriers in the environment and prevent access for people with disabilities. Accessibility Partnerships Oxford County is comprised of eight lower tier municipalities. There are four Accessibility Advisory Committee’s within Oxford County and each one reports to their respective Municipal Councils on a variety of accessibility matters. In 2015 the first Oxford County Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting was scheduled which included representation from all Accessibility Advisory Committees from Oxford County lower tier municipalities. The purpose of these meetings is to invite guest speakers to create educational opportunities and to allow members an opportunity to discuss accomplishments and challenges. The Oxford County Joint Accessibility Advisory Committee met in 2017 and 2019. Town of Tillsonburg Multi-Year Accessibility Plan 2019-2023 Page 6 of 14 Approval and Review Dates The Multi-Year Accessibility Plan will be reviewed and updated at least once every five years. An annual status report will be completed to document the progress and measures taken to implement the Town of Tillsonburg’s strategy and meet the requirements of the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation.

The Town encourages input from all Town of Tillsonburg residents. The Town of Tillsonburg is of the opinion that current legislation should improve accessibility in workplaces and public spaces and improve access to employment, customer service, communication and transportation.
