Travel training may be used to help teach individuals how to travel independently on public transportation.  URS will assess the needs of the individual and make recommendations regarding which areas the individual may have barriers as well as the individual’s strengths.

Instruction includes topics such as learning how to schedule transportation requests with transportation providers, reading bus schedules, purchasing tokens/bus passes, training on the public transportation providers, contingency planning in the event of an unexpected issue such as a missed bus, getting off at the wrong stop, etc.  URS may provide instruction by demonstrating how to ride public transportation with the job seeker until the individual is independent.

The outcome of this service is that the individual will be confident and independent in their ability to work and travel around in the community.
