In coordination with Vesselina Romanov of
KIPDA (Kentuckiana Planning and Development Agency),
TARC presented their Travel Training program to the Elder Program yesterday. With the help of interpreters, the elders first watched a short film explaining the public transit system in Louisville before Janene Grantz and Nancy Snow from TARC explained more about the bus schedules, tickets and passes, and transfer requests. Finally, all the elders were able to get onto a TARC bus to learn how to pay the driver, look for appropriate bus stops, and request to get off at a particular stop. Check out some of the photos:
Yusuf and Hit get ready to board the TARC bus!
Abdel and Hawa are ready to go...
...as are Narmata and Sancha Maya!
The elders are all boarded and listening to Nancy Snow of TARC explain more about transfer tickets.
Zhamila and Pae demonstrate how to request a stop.
Jose gives volunteer Annie a thumbs up during the bus ride.
Aung and Pah are definitely enjoying this bus ride with the elders...
Just like in middle school...the back of the bus always seems to be having fun!
Thanks to KIPDA and TARC for this wonderful training!!!
