What is Travel Training?List Item 4
Participants in our Travel Training program gain knowledge and support focused on how to safely and independently use public transportation.
In some instances, all someone might need is the information on how to ride. In this case, support via phone or email can be provided.
Sometimes, group trips may take place and are designed to help people feel comfortable in a real setting where the bus may be full.
We might decide one-on-one travel training is what's best for you. This will be a personalized one-on-one training with one of our travel trainers.
Regardless of which training path we decide on, each training will specifically be tailored to best suit your needs. Reach out today to get started!
