Staff Training

Cherriots partners with social service agencies, medical providers, and community organizations to provide travel resources to employees who work with clients riding Cherriots. The goal of the training is to give your organization's staff an introduction to the benefits of using Cherriots Local and Cherriots Regional buses. We'll explain how to use accessibility features, how to plan trips and pay fares, and how to travel safely in the community while using Cherriots services. Following the presentation, your staff will be able to provide this information to your clients which will increase their independence and mobility in the community.
