Positives

This resource is engaging and has plenty of opportunities for differentiation.
The maps and graphics are easy to use and understand, allowing students of various levels to use this resource.

Additional Prerequisites

Differentiation

Cross-curricular connections can be made in science classes that are discussing how different transportation options could reduce carbon pollution.
This resource could be turned into a fun scavenger hunt, where students have to use the map to answer specific questions correctly (e.g., How could you travel from Seattle to Vancouver using public transit?).
As an extension, have students explore the transit options in two different countries to compare and contrast.
