Assessing the accessibility of affordable zero-emission vehicles for people with disabilities : study report / prepared by Left Turn Right Turn Ltd., for Transport Canada.: T42-36/2025E-PDF

"To meet Canada's climate objectives, it will be necessary to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector. Strategies to do this include increasing the share of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs) on roads. The Government of Canada is taking a comprehensive, whole-of-government approach focusing on addressing key barriers and opportunities to support the transition to ZEVs. This includes making ZEVs more affordable and available, deploying charging and hydrogen stations, building Canadian confidence in these clean vehicles, and seizing economic opportunities associated with these cleaner vehicles. In March 2023, the Government of Canada launched a new ZEV Council aimed at bringing together key voices to identify, discuss, and work on solutions to further accelerate the transition to ZEVs. These parties include federal, provincial, and territorial governments, industry, and non-government organizations. The ZEV Council identified a key data gap in understanding the travel patterns and needs of people with disabilities; the unique barriers to accessing ZEVs; and the impact of these barriers to the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for ZEVs for people with disabilities. These barriers are situated within the broader context of the mobility patterns, needs, and challenges of the disability community"--Summary, background and objectives, page [3].
