| Charlie Bristow & Tyson Kerr |
Tyson Kerr, first year student in the Transition Program has a goal of identifying transportation options within his community. Tyson learned how to access Transit Link last month and he made a practice run to Hy-Vee in Oakdale assisted with staff. Tyson works part-time at Candyland in downtown Stillwater. Tyson was scheduled to work at Candyland on Monday, 2/20 which was President's day and a non school day. Therefore, Tyson independently called Transit Link last week to set up a ride to and from work. Tyson's initiative and follow through to complete this task not only demonstrated responsible decision making but also his commitment to his job. WAY TO GO TYSON! ~The Stillwater Transitions Staff
Transit Link (formerly Dial-A-Ride) is a curb-to-curb minibus or van service for the general public that operates on weekdays throughout the seven-county metropolitan area. It is a shared-ride service, which must be reserved in advance. You may reserve a ride up to five days in advance, or call at least two hours in advance for same-day trips. Rides are subject to availability, and fares are based on the distance traveled. The base fare is $2.25, one way, for a trip up to 10 miles.
