Trip Planning: Learn how to get around on your own

SMART's Trip Planning is aimed at:

• middle or high School students
• students who are new to Wilsonville
• students who want to learn how to get around on their own

SMART can help students learn how to safely and independently:

• get to  after school activities/events
• get to an after-school job
• get around Wilsonville without a car
• use active and shared transportation options.

Trip Planning can be adapted to cater to students’ experience with active and shared transportation and their interests. SMART can also facilitate student-led projects to encourage the use of active and shared transportation at schools where that is desired.
