AODA Fast Facts:
Building Your Multi-Year Plan
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) seeks to
create an accessible Ontario by 2025. Accessibility Standards have been
developed in five key areas of daily living: customer service, information
and communications, employment, transportation and built environment.
All Ontario organizations with
one or more employees have
compliance requirements under
the Customer Service Standard.
Sections 3 and 4 of the Integrated Accessibility Standards
regulation (IASR) of the AODA require that all public
sector organizations and private and not-for-profit
organizations with over 50 employees develop accessibility
plans and policies. By law, those plans and policies
should be developed, available to the public and posted
on organizations’ websites.
Organizations are also required to have publicly posted
statements of commitment.
Your multi-year accessibility plan:
• Demonstrates your organization’s commitment to accessibility
and to the AODA
• Provides a roadmap on how you will meet the requirements
of all of the AODA standards from now to 2021
• Explains how and under what circumstances you will remove current
barriers and prevent future barriers from arising in the future
