Connecting Point Launches Travel Training Program


Access to transportation gives you better access to the world.

If you live near a bus stop, chances are you can make it to most of the places you need to go. Buses in Nevada County go to most local grocery stores. Many doctor's offices and clinics are on bus routes. Libraries, banks, movie theatres, and parks are all accessible by bus.

Buses are a great transportation option, but many of us don't even know where to start.

Riding the bus is easier than it might seem, especially when you know what to expect. Connecting Point's new travel training program will help demystify the bus system and give you the tools you need to ride with confidence.

The program is free and open to anyone interested in learning to ride.

The goal of the survey is to get a clearer picture of the health and health needs of our community.

The survey includes questions about quality of life, health care, exercise, social supports, and risk behaviors.
