In today's Washington Post, reporter Mark Berman shares a progress report (To Get Teen on the Bus, Free Tokens of Appreciation, May 3, 2007) on Arlington's initiative to do "something revolutionary: make public transportation cool. Well, maybe not "cool," but at least attractive to county teenagers."
We hadn't brought you an update on the program since a post back in October (More iRide - Teen Transit Follow-Up, October 27, 2006). Mr. Berman's article provides a good summary of what it took to get the program off the ground and how well it is being received so we hope you'll take a look. For additional information about iRide, the research that the article mentions, and more visit www.commuterpage.com/iride.

Teens must look up on this. A great activity that derives youngster on being productive.
