Introduction
Travel Training is one-on-one instruction designed to teach people to travel independently on fixed-route public transportation in their community. Travel Training is also offered if you need to travel within Solano and neighboring counties. Here are the two options for Travel Training:
- Personalized one-on-one training to and from a specific location. Perhaps you haven’t ridden the bus in a while, or ever. A Travel Trainer will ride with you as many times as you want until you feel comfortable riding by yourself and answer questions before setting off on your first transit journey.
- Group trainings and presentations – In a group setting, a Travel Trainer will help you learn where the different routes go, how to read a schedule, where to board the bus, how to pay fares and use various special features of the bus such as bike racks, lifts, and more. During the training, a bus may be available for you to tour, or the training may include a group ride on a local bus.
Call 800-535-6883 to schedule your free travel training.
