Travel Training - The Easy Rider Program

Program Information
The Easy Rider Program is a free, comprehensive one-on-one travel training program, available in Boulder County, designed to teach older adults and people with disabilities how to safely and confidently use public transportation to expand independent travel options. Training techniques are adapted based on an individual's abilities and assist in overcoming any barriers to riding the bus.


Getting Started
Call the Easy Rider Program office at 303-447-2848, ext. 105 or email susan@specialtransit.org. An expert travel trainer will set up an in-home mobility assessment with you and help determine travel goals. Training sessions provide first-hand experience riding buses in the community.
