“Centro’s Travel Training program provides outreach services to citizens, community-based organizations, and agencies that depend on Centro’s public transit system. By providing face-to face contact within the community and assisting individuals with a desire to learn more about Centro’s services, the Travel Trainer is able to customize instruction on how to ride the bus. This approach allows riders to feel more comfortable and confident with using Centro’s service while gaining an understanding of how the service is provided.
Travel Training offers personalized, one-on-one or group travel training instruction. Taking each trainee’s unique needs and abilities into account, the Travel Trainer will teach participants how to safely and independently use the Centro system.
The Travel Trainer will travel with trainees to their desired destinations at times of their choice. Destinations may include work, school, medical offices, and recreation sites.
