The Hop o the Bus workshop is designed to help people with and without disabilities build skills to independently and safely use PACE fixed-route public transportation. The new skills learned support participants to live and work in the community.

Presented by Search, Inc. at Progress Center’s Forest Park office, Hop on the Bus to Independence is a workshop of essential information about online resources and trip planning, using Ventra to pay for fares, accessibility and safety features, and building confidence to take public transportation.

Email dkaras@progresscil.org or call 708-209-1500 ext.118 to let us know you’ll be attending and any accommodation requests.
