*NEW* Click here to see pictures of Travel Training

Do you or someone you know have a disability and do not or cannot drive a private vehicle? Do you need transportation for work, recreation, medical appointments or school? Do you want to learn how to use public transportation (the bus, light rail, Metro, Amtrak or MARC). MCIL can help!

We offer individualized travel training to teach you how to access and use public transportation. We also sell coupon books for paratransit users.

MCIL can help you learn to navigate the public transportation system in and around Baltimore and beyond—regardless of your disability.

We can teach you what you need to know to get where you want to go.


How to:

  • use all forms of public transportation
  • apply for reduced fare
  • request the services you need such as called stops, wheelchair lifts and front seating
  • board and disembark
  • plan local trips around town
  • get paratransit service if you cannot access fixed route transportation systems.

Call us today and get your "ticket to ride"!
