20-6491 - Ride Smart Travel Training Program

Travel Training was first introduced in 2006 as a joint program between Cobb Senior Services (CSS), CobbLinc (formerly Cobb Community Transit/CCT) and the Department’s Planning Division.  Since that time, CSS, CobbLinc and the Department’s Planning Division staff have continued to work collaboratively to enhance and expand the program in order to reach more seniors and disabled citizens in Cobb County. Travel training helps provide knowledge and understanding about transit within Cobb County and the surrounding communities. Travel training is also used to promote the use of local fixed routes over paratransit for its independence and ease of use. The entire CobbLinc bus fleet is 100% accessible for all disabilities. The goal of this project is to implement the CobbLinc Ride Smart Travel Training Program, including but not limited to: scheduling, content development, full execution of Train the Trainer Sessions, Group System Orientation, and Individual Travel Training.
