Ready to Get on the Bus?

We know starting a new program can be complicated and we want to help! 

Get on the Bus has engaged Kingston youth transit expert Dan Hendry to help make free youth transit passes and training a reality in cities across Canada. We work with communities to develop policies, create partnerships and align community resources to create youth-focused transit programs.

We can help your community Get on the Bus through:

Training and Education 

We will help your community develop youth-specific transit programming through train-the-trainer support, webinars, coaching and community strategy sessions.

Coaching and Support

We offer your community guidance, including ongoing feedback and troubleshooting, as you implement youth transit programming.

Resources

We provide your community with access to a wide range of resources, including downloadable flyers, posters and infographics, that can be used to promote sustainable transportation and youth empowerment.

Partnerships and Knowledge Sharing

We are dedicated to fostering partnerships and collaboration between organizations and individuals who share our commitment to sustainable transportation and youth empowerment. We facilitate knowledge sharing between communities to help them learn from each other's experiences and adapt youth transit programming to their unique needs and goals.

Through this support, the Get on the Bus movement aims to empower communities to create sustainable transportation options that benefit youth, the environment and communities as a whole.

“When youth use public transit, transit systems come alive. The future of Canada’s transit systems is stronger when we get young people riding today. Putting programs in place as we’ve done in Kingston makes that a reality.”

Jeremy DaCosta, Director, Transit Services, City of Kingston
