C-TRAN’s free Travel Training program is designed to help seniors and people with disabilities learn to use the fixed-route bus system. Riders can meet with a travel trainer to cover the basics of public transportation, or ride with a trainer on the bus. Learn how to:
- plan your trip
- pay your fare
- read and understand schedules
- recognize bus numbers, stops and landmarks
- transfer to another bus or transit system
Travel Training allows people to feel confident and comfortable using the bus system, and gain the independence that comes with transportation options.
To connect with a Travel Trainer, all you have to do is call 360-906-RIDE (7433), send an email to traveltrainer@c-tran.org, or fill out the following form:
There’s no eligibility requirement, and it’s completely free.
