In fact, the success rate among participants is 91%.
This initiative aims to develop the autonomy of participants so that they can travel alone within the public transport network.
To date, 420 individuals have completed the training. The objective is to train at least 2000 by 2025.
Our journalist Anne-Sophie Jobin accompanied Ludovic Lamarche-Cadieux, one of the beneficiaries of the program, on an outing.
“I feel free, I feel autonomous. I’m proud of myself,” he said.
Thanks to the program, he can now go to school, work and his internship independently.
“The first time Ludovic came home and had completed a completely autonomous journey, the stars he had in his eyes, I can’t tell you,” expresses his mother and instigator of the program Julie Cadieux.
“It allows him to be a full citizen, to do like everyone else, to move like everyone else and it gives him confidence in his abilities,” she adds.
