Now she’s back with an update on Bus and Basics, Community Transit’s youth education program that brings transit lessons directly to schools across Snohomish County.\nStudents learn how to plan a trip, use a Youth ORCA card, ride safely, use features on the bus and ask a bus driver for help. Then they put those lessons into practice aboard a real Community Transit bus.\nNatalie joins host Monica Spain to talk about what kids really want to know about transit, how their questions and feedback are shaping the program, and Transit Tales, a program that introduces younger kids to public transit. They also explore how learning to ride at an early age can give young people more independence and more options for getting where they want to go.\nHear how Community Transit is helping a new generation learn how to use public transit with confidence.\nLearn more about Community Transit: https://www.communitytransit.org/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FACCnT7q58pzGf_wgS-zU9f_jKqxWFgkO3SU2F0_HDE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jODAw/OGVmNTc4NDEzYTM4/MDA1NTNkM2NjMDM4/ZGU1Zi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
