The Importance of Transit Training

Transit training is a powerful tool that helps adults with intellectual differences gain the skills and confidence to navigate public transportation independently. By learning how to plan routes, read schedules, and use transit systems safely, individuals increase their mobility, opening up access to work, school, social activities, and community involvement. This newfound independence not only boosts self-esteem but also reduces reliance on others, empowering individuals to have more control over how they travel to and from.

Beyond practical skills, transit training fosters social inclusion and safety. It allows individuals to participate in the broader community, build relationships, and engage in meaningful experiences. By equipping adults with the ability to travel independently, transit training helps break down barriers to inclusion and creates more equitable opportunities where everyone can thrive!
