The Oswego County Department of Mobility Management announces the return of “Ride the Route” classes in April and May. These sessions are planned to teach people about Oswego County and Centro bus transportation systems.

“We began offering ‘Ride the Route’ classes last year and were thrilled by the turnout,” said Oswego County Director of Mobility Management Heather Snow. “These classes help residents learn everything they need to know about using Oswego County public transit, including how to navigate bus schedules and transfer between different bus systems.”

Travel experts will teach attendees about bus safety and how to plan trips, read a bus map and schedule and how to transfer between buses. A guide will also accompany class members for a ride-along which will start on an Oswego County Public Transit bus and transfer to a Centro bus. Participants will receive free bus passes for the ride-along.

The schedule for classes is as follows:

• Friday, April 12 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at the OCO Pulaski Family Welcome Center, 10 Bella Rd.
• Thursday, May 16 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the CiTi Fulton Family Welcome Center, 104 Cayuga St.

Community groups, schools, businesses and anyone wanting to learn about taking the bus are welcome to sign up for the free “Ride the Route” classes. Registration is required.
