Travel Training
The Mobility & Travel Training Program at CRIL enables people with disabilities and seniors, living in the Southern & Eastern Alameda County, to increase their independence by developing the skills to travel on public transit and paratransit. CRIL provides this program as part of its well-established Independent Living Skills (ILS) services through individual and/or group trainings with an experienced travel trainer. The program models how to safely and independently access the different modes of transportation in order to increase a person's knowledge, ability and confidence in getting to many destinations throughout the Bay Area.
