Sorting through the maze of transportation alternatives for getting around King County can be an overwhelming task, yet for many people in the Redmond area, travel options are the key to independence — whether that means a ride to a doctor’s appointment, work, school, shopping, social activities or family events.
Hopelink is offering free training for local residents who are interested in helping their neighbors figure out how to get where they need to go without a car. The training is available to staff, providers and volunteers who work directly with people with transportation needs — as well as community members who would like to learn more about travel options.
Training to become a “travel ambassador” will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 10 at the Together Center Rainier Room, 16225 N.E. 87th St. in Redmond. Registration is required and training is limited to 20 participants.
To learn more or to register, contact: Sheila Sloan-Evans at (425) 943-6760 or sheilase@hope-link.org or Alunya Clark at (425) 943-6741 or aclark@hope-link.org
Registration closes April 3. The location is ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible. Alternate formats and languages are available on request.
