Recommendations
Our commitment: Transportation provided to ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøemployees and students is accessible.
The following recommendations for Dalhousie’s Accessibility Plan have emerged through an iterative needs analysis, consultation, review, and documentation process, informed by individual reports.
5.1 Develop a Landscape Master Plan for Halifax and Truro campuses, addressing accessibility standards and best practices and outlining maps, standards, and projects.
5.2 Develop a multi-year budget and annual allocation process for accessible transportation initiatives. This would include:
Development of a funding plan;
Development of signature joint projects; and
Allocation of additional funding through existing sources such as facilities renewal (no current funding stream for new accessibility projects), new strategic initiative funding, and loan and grant program leveraging in partnership with government entities, or capital campaigns.
5.3 Develop and execute a project to ensure accessible signage and wayfinding, specific to transportation on and around campuses.
5.4 Expand research project opportunities for students — identified and secured by working with faculty and students through classes, internships, and thesis work. 
5.5 Ensure updates and revision to Dalhousie’s Multi-Campus Master Plan address:
Parking lot accessibility improvements; 
Outdoor lighting upgrades; and 
Pathway upgrades, including slopes, sidewalks, roadways, and entrances.
5.6 Develop and deliver accessibility education and training for departments and senior leaders responsible for transportation.
5.7 Define projects around critical destination routes.
5.8 Deliver program and service upgrades such as adaptive bikes in loan program, covered bike parking, and others.
