Smart Business Partnership
ABQ RIDE and Rio Metro want you to get connected. We have developed a Travel Training Program and Guide to help you understand how to use a regional mass transit system for all your transportation needs.
The Travel Training Program’s purpose is to better serve our current and potential riders by making them better informed about our services and how they relate to each other. ABQ RIDE and Rio Metro have come together to provide you with comprehensive training on how to effectively use a multi modal system. We want you to GET CONNECTED!'
This program will teach people how to use the ABQ RIDE city-wide bus system and connect you to the New Mexico Rail Runner Express and vice versa. Mobility to meet the citizen needs puts it in a nut shell.
Department personnel are trained to support the Travel Training Program and to provide quality service be it addressing bus or train service or a combination of both. Department personnel both at ABQ RIDE and Rio Metro will take the training program to businesses, educational institutions and a variety of service organizations. If you are interested in hosting a Travel Training session in your organization please contact Nick Manole by phone at 724-3115 or email [email protected]
