CTV today reported on the Supreme Court of Canada’s ruling to uphold a decision by federal regulators that will force Via Rail to make their passenger rail cars more wheelchair accessible.

Bakerlaw represented the citizen’s group behind the case, the Council of Canadians with Disabilities.

David Baker is quoted in the story, nothing that “there’s not a single wheelchair accessible rail car in the country at the present time. In the United States there is not a single rail car that is not wheelchair accessible.”
