MCAT's Free Travel Training Program TIME: Appointments available all day, every day! Riding the bus can be an intimidating experience for first-time riders or individuals with special needs. Manatee County Area Transit (MCAT) is making that experience easier with its free MCAT Travel Training Program. The fully personalized program helps riders understand how to use bus services, covering everything from navigating bus routes to purchasing a mobile ticket. Anyone interested can make a training appointment by calling (941) 747-8621 Ext. 7633. After scheduling an appointment, an MCAT travel trainer will meets with the future rider to discuss their needs and concerns. The travel trainer develops a customized training plan which typically includes riding the bus together. The training is self-paced and lasts as long as the rider needs to feel comfortable and understand the bus system. Learn more about the MCAT Travel Training Program at www.mymanatee.org/traveltraining. For more information on Manatee County Government, visit www.mymanatee.org or call (941) 748-4501.
