Community Engagement
Your Voice is LANTA’s two-way communication strategy — built on listening to riders and meeting communities where they already are. The Storytime Bus brings that spirit to our youngest future riders, turning a city bus into a place for stories long before it’s a place for commutes.
It’s a small, joyful way to make public transit feel familiar, friendly, and fun — for kids and the grown-ups raising the next generation of riders.
- Live storytime reading aboard the bus
- Sing-alongs
- 35 seats per session — registration required
- Free and open to families with young children
