“We are excited to expand the Get On & Go program,” said Michelle Griffin, Mobility Managerr for OCCK, Inc. “The program has continued to grow in popularity and we want to offer opportunities for kids to ride throughout the year. We are helping kids navigate around Salina, participate in activities and community events, while using public transit, which means learning important life skills while gaining freedom and independence.”
