Across Canada there are resources to help those who have lost their drivers licence or for those whose licence may be in jeopardy.
Communities have a wide variety of programs to help with transportation related needs. Services may include driver training, volunteer drivers, car pools, public transit and more. See this link for information from Canada's Occupational Therapy Resource Site - 'In support of seniors driving'
Since 1973, The Driving Rehabilitation Service has been providing driving evaluations to clients whose illness or disability may affect their ability to drive. The driver rehabilitation specialist assesses the clients’ abilities to operate a motorized vehicle and determines if the clients have the potential to improve from driver training. The Driving Rehabilitation Service also assists clients with adaptive driving equipment and altered driving techniques. The service is approved by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario and La Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec.
Driving licence assessments are available through different community agencies and the provincial/territorial Ministries of Transportation websites (listed below) should list their approved driver assessment programs. Please contact them individually.
