Season 3, Episode 4Warren Rupnarain: The Man Who Puts Accessibility Into Practice
Warren Rupnarain is a senior official at the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), one of North America's largest public transit agencies. Warren's job is to advise the agency on matters related to accessibility.
As host and Connect4Life President & CEO, Melanie Taddeo learns in this episode, Warren's career has focused on advocating for, promoting, and advising on accessibility for people with disabilities. From a young age, Warren's focus has been on making our world accessible for everyone.
No easy task, especially with decades-old physical infrastructure, built at times when accessibility was not necessarily the number one priority. Warren, however, approaches things in measured stride, adeptly balancing dreams and visions with legal obligations and fiscal realities.
Check out this episode, the next installment in Profiles in Advocacy, our Season Three focus, to learn how Warren Rupnarain applies his trade in advocacy to help ensure that the TTC truly is "the better way" -- yet another perspective on how to advocate for accessibility for people with disabilities.
