The CCRTA Youth Educational Program is designed to introduce students to the benefits of public transportation.
Of course, we can alter our presentation to your current curriculum. Let us know what you are studying or what you would like for CCRTA to discuss.
Your class may be interested in taking a bus ride on one of CCRTA’s fixed-route services. Call the CCRTA, and we will plan your trip on one of the closest bus routes that service your community or school. A hands-on experience will cover topics such as public shared transportation and its benefits, how to safely wait at a CCRTA bus stop, how to board/exit and seating instructions, the importance of practicing safety habits, as well as proper etiquette when riding the ‘B.’
Please submit your request in writing at least seven (7) to ten (10) days in advance. Please allow CCRTA staff enough time to communicate with all parties involved to make your experience on the ‘B’ fantastic.
A CCRTA representative will visit your classroom and provide students with a 10 to 15-minute presentation on the history of public transportation, transportation in Corpus Christi, and how transportation impacts our environment, bus safety tips, or a career in public transportation. Staff can also tailor the presentation to any special topic.
Please submit your request in writing at least two weeks in advance. Please allow CCRTA staff enough time to communicate with all parties involved to make your ‘B’ experience wonderful.

CCRTA invites you to come by and tour the CCRTA Facilities. A tour includes walking through the mechanics’ world of the CCRTA, experiencing an actual bus wash, and visiting with dispatchers and bus operators who make the wheels go round. If time permits, your tour could include a visit to the CCRTA B-Line Paratransit offices.
Your classroom is welcome to visit one of the CCRTA’s major transfer stations located in several different areas of the city. These stations provide convenience and safety to other CCRTA Bus Routes that service different areas of Corpus Christi.
CCRTA Customer Service Center is located at 602 N Staples. The Center handles all of the CCRTA’s customer’s needs. These needs range from bus route information – either by phone or in person, purchasing bus passes, receiving discount rate ‘B’ id cards, and handling the certification process for CCRTA B-Line Paratransit service. Please submit your request in writing at least two weeks in advance. Please allow CCRTA staff enough time to COMMUNICATE with all parties involved to make your experience with the CCRTA wonderful.
