In Mississauga and the Peel Region, older adults (65 +) already represent 14.7% of the population (Statistics Canada) — and over the past decade the number of seniors has jumped by approximately 56.5% (2011-2021). As our community of older adults grows, access to reliable transportation becomes even more important for keeping medical appointments, essential errands and social outings within reach.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I know if I am eligible for Transportation?
Older adults, seniors (typically 55+ or 65+ depending on the agency), and adults with disabilities may qualify for Transportation Programs. Eligibility often depends on whether you are able to use public transit or if you require door-to-door assistance. Availability and specific criteria may vary based on your location and the service provider.
-
Do these programs cost money?
Yes, most transportation services charge a fee. Rates vary by provider—some charge a flat rate (e.g., for local trips) while others charge per kilometer.
However, fees are often subsidized for seniors and are generally lower than private taxi services. If cost is a barrier, ask the provider if you qualify for financial subsidies or reduced rates.
-
How far can I travel with a transportation service?
Every effort is made to meet your service needs. Please contact your local service provider to make your request.
-
Can vehicles accommodate my walker or wheelchair?
It is important to tell the provider about your mobility needs when you book your ride.
- Volunteer Driver Programs often use personal cars and can typically only accommodate foldable walkers (clients must be able to transfer into the car independently).
- Accessible Van Services (like TransHelp or agency vans) are equipped with lifts or ramps for wheelchairs. Always clarify what equipment you are bringing to ensure the right vehicle is sent.
