On the Move Riders is a peer-to-peer training program that aims to educate older adults about the joys of riding public transportation. Through group trips or one-on-one sessions, the program consists of experienced transit users (Travel Buddies) and less experienced riders (Participants) who travel together to fun places throughout LA County using public transportation.

If you are someone who is already well versed in LA's transit system we would love to certify you as an official Travel Buddy for the Glendora Chapter! If you are interested, contact:

Here in Glendora, On the Move Riders activities are separated into three types of categories; Adventure Posse, Lunch Bunch and One-on-One Sessions.

Adventure Posse
The Adventure Posse is for the adventurous members of On the Move Riders. These trips are longer and more active compared to Lunch Bunch trips.

Lunch Bunch
The Lunch Bunch offers a more relaxed pace for members of On the Move Riders. These trips are shorter and more casual compared to Adventure Posse trips.

One-on-one Sessions
If you need help learning how to get to locations that may not be ideal for large groups, One-on-One sessions may be available to help you or a small group of friends.

Sign Up for a Trip!
To sign up for an Adventure Posse, or Lunch Bunch trip, or to sign up for a One-On-One Session please contact the La Fetra Center. If you have not registered with On the Move Riders, you will need to fill out a registration/waiver form.
