way to travel to destinations around Everett. This class is offered free of charge to 5th grade <br />classes within Everett Transit’s service area and helps to meet ELA learning standards related to <br />reading informational texts. <br />4)Transit Goes Green classroom program: This one-hour classroom program is for students in 2nd <br />and 3rd grades within Everett Transit’s service area. Through hands-on activities and simulations, <br />students learn the environmental benefits of Everett Transit’s electric bus fleet, as well as <br />practical information on riding the bus with their families. This class helps students to meet <br />science learning standards related to forces, energy transfer, and engineering design. <br />5)Everett Transit field trips to Imagine: In addition to an in-classroom program, each of the two <br />classes identified in #’s 3 and 4, above, can also be offered at Imagine for students via a field <br />trip. In coordination with Everett Transit and Imagine’s group reservations team, classrooms <br />may schedule a field trip using Everett Transit as their transportation to and from the Museum. <br />While on the bus, students will be accompanied by an Imagine or Everett Transit educator who <br />will review practical rules for riding the bus. Schools will pay only Imagine’s basic field trip <br />admission rate for visiting the Museum and receive the bus ride and Transit education classes <br />free of charge. <br />Program Staff Time <br />Imagine will devote approximately 240 hours of staff time per year to carry out the program <br />components. In 2025, the hours will be spent approximately as follows: <br />•Maintenance and service of the Bus Exhibit: 100 hours <br />•Outreach and promotion to area schools: 25 hours <br />•Program delivery: 100 hours <br />•Administration: 15 hours <br />Additional long-term goals and considerations: <br />•Reimagining of the Bus Exhibit to better reflect the present and future of mass transit in Everett <br />and the region <br />The Bus Exhibit, while popular and well-loved, more reflects the transit system of 20 years ago <br />(when it was designed) than that of today. As part of a refresh of the Museum’s original exhibit <br />gallery, where the Bus Exhibit is located, the Museum’s Exhibits and Facilities team may propose <br />updates to and explore possible strategies with Everett Transit to update the bus exhibit to <br />better reflect the current experience of riding the bus (e.g. paying fares with ORCA, riding a bus <br />powered by electricity, using electronic schedules and timetables) and the future of the bus <br />system as Everett plans for the arrival of Link Light Rail service. <br />•Educational planning time for new and revised programs that engage youth in the challenges <br />and opportunities that come with a rapidly growing local and regional transit system
