VIA Classroom on Wheels

Image: Classroom on Wheels

The Classroom on Wheels education program is designed to help children understand the benefits of mass transportation. This free presentation brought to the group’s location teaches children how to ride the bus in a safe and proper manner and about the environment.

When a school or a group sets up a Classroom on Wheels presentation, here is what they can expect:

  • A specially designed VIA 'green' hybrid bus will come to your school or location to give children "hands-on" education.
  • Children learn the benefits of public transportation and bus safety.
  • The presentation will be approximately 30 minutes long, with video.
  • The Classroom on Wheels program is recommended for students Pre-K to 5th grade.
  • Special give-a-ways are available for each child.
  • Approximately 37-40 children per group is recommended. Back-to-back presentations can be made to accommodate any number of children.
  • A short bus ride for the group is an option for the presentation.
  • At least two weeks notice is requested for each presentation.
  • Bilingual presenter upon request.
