Summer Trolley for Kids in Helena

Now in its first month of operation, the Helena Rec-Connect Trolley is a program designed to provide children the mobility around Helena that they would otherwise not have due to working parents or other lack of transportation options. The trolley works five days a week, providing access to places such as the walking mall, library, skate park, water park, Mt. Helena, and local playgrounds and sports facilities. Operating on two loops, the routes are designed to provide overlapping access for children with different schedules and different needs. There are chaperones on board the trolley to make sure that the children are safe, and there is a registration to keep track of users and their contact information.
