Accessible and safe transportation is one of the six publicly identified priority areas of the Saskatchewan Disability Strategy. The TAPD program directly supports this priority by helping Saskatchewan municipalities provide safe, available, public paratransit service which is foundational to citizens experiencing disability. Municipalities that receive operating funding under the TAPD program may apply for capital funding for the purchase of a replacement vehicle for their paratransit service.
The Government of Saskatchewan's role under the TAPD program is to provide financial support to municipalities who offer paratransit services for persons with disabilities. Paratransit provides a critical link for passengers across the province that use the service to get to work, school, medical appointments and a wide range of other daily activities. Passengers may have physical or mental disabilities, and they may use a wheelchairs or be ambulatory.
