transportation options are available

in your community.

▶ Do you know how to use the local transit system?

» Most transit agencies have a customer service line
that you can call if you need help planning your trip
and/or if you have questions in general.

» Maps and schedules can be found on the transit
agency’s website, mobile applications, or at the bus/
rail terminals.
» Many transit agencies have Travel Trainers that CHAPTER 3
will work with you individually or in a small group
to teach you the skills you may need to travel
confidently on your own.

▶ Is there a bus stop within walking distance to where
you live or the place you need to go?

» Some transit agencies offer first and last mile
connections through companies like Uber and Lyft.

» Consider riding a bike to the nearest stop. Many
transit systems accommodate bikes or have places
where you can lock up your bike.

» Using transit may not work in every situation. Make
a list of places where it does.
