Consultations

The Canadian Transportation Agency is committed to consulting with Canadians.

Through consultations, the Agency gains a greater understanding of the perspectives of a wide range of citizens, stakeholders and experts and therefore develops more informed and effective policies and programs.

For advice on accessibility issues, the Agency also consults its Accessibility Advisory Committee.
