Who We Are
TONS is a volunteer driven network that focuses on three main areas:
Community Outreach
We focus on developing and enhancing relationships with current transportation providers in the public and private sector as well as distributing the research and best practice recommendations.
Education / Awareness
We aim to increase awareness and provide education on the transportation needs for Older Adults in Manitoba with the goal of ensuring that individuals can choose to age in place within community and that communities see transportation as a valuable investment for creating age-friendly communities.
