Did You Know?

If you have seen buses driving around your community then you have a local transit service. Contact your local government to find out the routes and fares to see if the transit system goes to places you frequent and could serve as your means of transportation. Every public transit system also offers a para-transit service to assist those who are unable get to designated bus stops. With para- transit, a smaller bus comes to your home to pick you up and take you where you need to go. Again, contact your local government to get information on how you can access this service.
