30-01-2025 Independent Travel Training
The First Route Scheme supports access to public transport for young adults and adults with learning disabilities. It is aimed at those who travel independently, could travel independently or those who use, or could use, public transport with support.
The scheme was set up by Enfield Council in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, Transport for London and Arriva buses, to help support individuals who were not confident with using public transport, including young adults before they transition to adult services and adults with a learning disability.
Their sessions take place on the first Thursday of each month and give an opportunity for individuals to gain confidence to travel independently and safely, including looking at the kinds of scenarios that they could encounter on public transport. There are morning sessions from 10.30 am to 12 noon and afternoon sessions from 1 pm to 2.30 pm.
The current dates are Thursday 6th February, 6th March, 3rd April and 1st May.
