Participants recently had the opportunity to learn about community transportation during a visit from River Valley Transit, our local city bus service!
The River Valley Transit team spent time answering questions, discussing bus services, and helping participants become more comfortable with using public transportation. Participants were able to board the bus using the accessibility ramp, learn about the safest seating options, and see firsthand how walkers and mobility devices can be accommodated while riding.
The employees and drivers did an outstanding job making everyone feel welcome and confident, helping to ease fears about riding the city bus. They even brought along some goodies for participants to enjoy!
Access to reliable transportation is an important part of maintaining independence and staying connected to the community. Whether it's shopping, visiting friends and family, attending appointments, or simply getting out and about, public transportation can open the door to many opportunities. For participants interested in using the bus, we also help connect them with information about obtaining bus passes and navigating the system.
A big thank you to River Valley Transit for helping empower our participants to remain safe, active, and independent in the community! 🚌💙
