April Brings Free Travel Training to Get Older Adults Moving


Older adults 65+ can learn how to use public transportation at free Travel Training workshops scheduled in April. The workshops, which include a field trip and seminar, offer older adult residents a chance to get to know the County and learn about public transportation options. The seminar includes rides on a Metro train and Ride On bus, and seniors receive hands-on practice loading a fare card and creating an itinerary.

Seminars are scheduled:
  • Friday, April 11. 9 a.m.-noon. Benjamin Gaither Center, 80A Bureau Drive. Gaithersburg.
  • Tuesday, April 22. 9 a.m.-noon. Dacek/North Potomac Community Center, 13850 Travilah Road. Rockville.
Space is limited, and participants must register in advance for the workshop. Call Connect-A-Ride at 301-738-3252 to learn more and register. Travel Training is provided by the Jewish Council for the Aging with funding from the Montgomery County Department of Transportation.
