Kid One Transport System

Kid One Transport is an innovative program that has served the children of Alabama for nine years. It is the only nonprofit transportation provider of its kind in the country. Their immediate goal is to expand from the current service area of 32 counties to serve all 67 in the state. Long-term goals include replication of the program nationally. According to the Children’s Health Fund in New York, millions of children miss necessary medical appointments every year due to a lack of transportation. Support of Kid One may someday help eliminate the transportation barrier for all of our nation’s children.

Since the beginning, Kid One has provided more than 111,000 transports and driven over 2.5 million miles to ensure that their clients receive the medical care that they need. Kid One serves children with a wide variety of healthcare needs. Types of appointments range from routine medical checkups, dental screenings and mental/emotional health services on up to critical, specialized care such as radiation, chemotherapy and dialysis. When specialized care such as radiation, chemotherapy and dialysis is required, there are only two hospitals in the state that offer specialized pediatric care and they are located in Jefferson and Mobile Counties; Kid One Transport help to bridge this transportation gap.
