Accessible rides in Ottawa, Ontario
ARK doesn’t drive in Ottawa yet, so there’s nothing to book here today. When we launch, riders in Kanata, Nepean and Orléans will have vetted wheelchair-accessible vehicles and door-to-door support for trips to The Ottawa Hospital and CHEO, clinics, and appointments across the National Capital Region — with no accessibility surcharge. ODSP recipients and other Ontario disability programs may cover eligible medical trips, and the Assistive Devices Program (ADP) supports related mobility needs. Direct billing through ARK is coming soon.
