The goals of the program include: 

- The Benefits of using transit

- How to plan a route

- Bus Riding Basics (including using transit card, how to know you are at the right stop, and how to signal when ready to get off the bus.

The curriculum is two class sessions: Day one is in the classroom with presented information, routing activities, and discussions. Day two is a short field trip where the class goes on a field trip to ride the bus and practice what they have learned.
