LIFE SKILLS
Transportation
Build a transportation plan with more than one way to get there.
1
List current options
Family rides, walking, biking, bus, paratransit, rideshare, program transportation or driving.
2
Practice one route
Repeat a useful route until the stops, landmarks, timing and payment feel familiar.
3
Create a backup
What happens if a ride cancels, a bus is missed or the phone battery dies?
4
Make safety concrete
Who can be called? What information should not be shared? Where is a safe place to wait?
5
Explore paratransit
ADA complementary paratransit may be available for eligible riders who cannot use fixed-route transit for some or all trips.
6
Connect transportation to goals
Transportation can unlock employment, friendships, recreation and independence.
