Advocating for safer, more accessible journeys

People with sight loss continue to loudly voice that transportation barriers are among the greatest they face, whether they live in rural or urban environments. The issue? Inaccessible transportation systems and built environment barriers that put the community of people with sight loss in dangerous and stressful situations when travelling.

CNIB is committed to removing barriers and creating safe, accessible door-to-door journeys for all. Through our advocacy work, we're targeting Canada’s decision-makers, political representatives, and transit leaders to remove barriers to travel and create safe, accessible transportation options. By learning about the issues and joining our advocacy campaigns, you can help make tangible change in your community.

"SnoWay" Snow Removal Campaign

For people who are blind, Deafblind, or have low vision, navigating outdoor spaces can become difficult or impossible during the winter months due to environmental barriers caused by improper snow removal practices. While CNIB continues to advocate for municipalities to review their snow clearing policies and practices, including budgetary decisions, you can take action and help advocate by participating in our annual SnoWay campaign.
