Travel Training

What is travel training?

What good is bus service if potential riders are unsure how to use it? Not very! This is why METRO created Access to Independent Mobility, or AIM. AIM is a travel training program designed to teach people the skills they need to ride a bus. AIM can teach you just how fun and easy it is to ride METRO.
 

Who can use AIM?

Anyone interested in learning more about how to ride METRO line service buses can participate in the AIM program. Whether you are a SCAT passenger who is unfamiliar with line service or a new passenger who has never used a public transit system, AIM will have you riding METRO like a pro!
 

How does AIM work?

First, a mobility specialist will determine the options available for your travel needs. Based on that assessment, the training program is customized to teach you the skills you need to ride. Through AIM, you can learn a lot about riding. You may learn how to read bus schedules, how to use bike racks, how to plan a trip, or even how to transfer buses.

Training can last from a couple hours to a few days - however long it takes for you to be comfortable using METRO’s line service.
 

What will AIM cost me?

Your mobility specialists offer this service free of charge. Just bring your bus fare and we'll take care of the rest!
 

Where do I start?

It’s easy! Just give METRO a call at 330-762-0341. Ask to speak to a METRO mobility specialist and from there, your friendly mobility specialist will help you learn the skills you need to get up and go METRO! Or, fill out a travel training application and send it directly to METRO.
