Want to get around the city, but can’t drive? Join our group to learn how to take the bus around Sudbury!

We will check out different places around the city, learning how to safely take public transit and how it may help you get to places you’re interested in. We will talk about how to make the experience less stressful for you (or your parents) and how you’d be most comfortable exploring your community.

Fine print for caregivers:
Youth will travel around the city with a group of up to 4 other peers with 2-3 facilitators. Prior to boarding the bus, safety rules and riding etiquette will be reviewed. Youth will learn how to look up bus schedules online or on their phones and how the GOVA app works. Support will be faded across the 6 sessions so that they learn to use the Sudbury bus system to whatever level of independence they are able to demonstrate.
