Program Overview
The Disability Travel Card is for people of all types of permanent disabilities who require the assistance of a support person when travelling with VIA Rail Canada.
When a cardholder presents the Disability Travel Card when purchasing a ticket for travel with VIA Rail Canada, one support person can accompany them during travel for a reduced fee. The person with the disability (the Disability Travel Card holder) pays regular ticket price. A support person is an adult who accompanies a person with a permanent disability to provide those services that are not provided by the participating transportation company employees, such as assisting the person with eating, administering medication, communication, and use of the facilities.
