Accessibility at TrackTo.ca
Updated September 2026 · Always confirm details with the TTC before you travel.
TrackTo.ca should work for every rider, including people who are blind or have low vision, are Deaf or hard of hearing, have limited mobility or dexterity, or have cognitive or learning disabilities. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA across the site.
What the site does
- Works with a keyboard. Every route list, stop list, button and menu can be reached with Tab and used with Enter or Space. A “Skip to main content” link appears on your first Tab press. Press Escape to close menus.
- Works with screen readers. Pages use real headings, labelled buttons and form fields, and landmarks. Built to work with VoiceOver, TalkBack, NVDA and JAWS.
- Maps are never the only way. Everything on a live map, including vehicles, arrivals and service changes, is also listed as text beside it. Stop and station pages are the easiest way to get arrivals without a map.
- Read aloud. Stop pages and the departure board have a 🔊 Read aloud button that speaks the next arrivals using your device's voice.
- Leave-now alerts you can feel. Set your walking time on a stop page and turn on the chime. Your phone will beep and vibrate (on devices that support it) when it's time to leave, and screen readers announce it.
- Readable colours in dark and light mode. Text and route badges meet WCAG AA contrast in both themes, and status is always written out in words, never shown by colour alone. Switch themes from the ☰ menu.
- Zoom and large text. Pages reflow to a single column when you zoom in, down to phone width, and respect your browser's text size.
- Less motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, vehicles jump to their new spot instead of gliding, and map animations are turned off.
- Bigger touch targets on phones and tablets.
- Elevator and escalator outages for every subway and LRT station are on the service status page and on each station page. You can get a push notification for a station's outages from alert notifications.
- English and French. Main pages are available in both languages.
Known limitations
- Live maps are visual. Screen reader users can pan with the arrow keys, but the text lists on each page are the better option.
- Arrival times, alerts and elevator status come from the TTC's live data feeds. If the TTC's data is late or missing, we can't show it.
- Read aloud needs a browser with speech support. Vibration isn't available on iPhones or most desktop computers.
- Share buttons open X, Facebook and other services, whose accessibility we don't control.
