Ms. Foundation for Women is sponsoring its eighth annual Take Our Daughters to Work Day this April 26th. VRE will participate for the second year in a row by allowing kids who are going to work with their parents to ride for free. Although the event is geared toward girls, VRE will also make the offer for sons traveling with a parent. This offer is good for children under 18. If you are reading this, chances are you are a believer in taking the train.
Many kids never have the opportunity to ride public transportation.
Lack of familiarity may lead to inhibitions about using these services as kids become adults. Just seeing Mom or Dad confidently and easily take the train to work can go a long way toward promoting a new generation of transit users.
