Teaching Kids to Use Public Transit!

This week Chris joins ATX Kid's Club for their annual Urban Quest scavenger hunt around Austin! It's a great opportunity for Austinite's to learn how to use public transit, and visit some great sites around the city. ATX Kids club offers great summer camp programming, which incorporates public transit into their daily activities. So cool! Consider supporting ATX kids club at the link below.
