OCCK Transportation is excited to announce a new addition to the “Guide & Go” Travel Training program that teaches people how to use public transportation services in the region.
KanConnect Familiarization classes are now available for sign up. KanConnect Familiarization teaches the basics of riding the fixed route bus service that serves central Kansas from Abilene to Salina. It includes how to read the time table, find stop locations, pay fares, and general etiquette.
At this time, all classes will be held virtually, and will last about one hour, with the following schedule for KanConnect Familiarization for the remainder of 2021:
●Oct. 19, 9:30 a.m.
●Nov. 16, 1:30 p.m.
●Dec. 14, 9:30 a.m.
KanConnect passengers may also be interested in attending a CityGo Familiarization class if they plan to travel to Salina. CityGo Familiarization teaches the basics of riding CityGo in Salina, including how to read the map and time table, fare payments and general etiquette. A class on riding 81 Connection is also available.
Additional classes will be announced as they are scheduled.
Participation in Travel Training is free, however participants must have internet access and be able to pick up the class packet. Sign up can be done online at www.salinacitygo.com/guide-go-travel-training/ or by calling 785.826.1583.
“We are excited to expand the Guide & Go Travel Training program. These classes are a great way to learn about KanConnect and public transportation in general,” said Michelle Griffin, mobility manager for north-central Kansas. “By understanding how easy it is to ride, more passengers can take advantage of these systems.”
