Get to know us

Safe Transport Mobility (STM) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing one of the most pressing challenges faced by low-income individuals, families, and underserved communities: the lack of reliable and affordable transportation.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide free, reliable transportation services to low-income individuals, families, and underserved communities without access to dependable mobility options while fostering local economic growth through job creation. By partnering with volunteer and independent contractor drivers, we connect people to essential opportunities, promote social equity, and champion sustainability. Our goal is to ensure that transportation is a right for all, not a privilege, empowering communities to thrive and creating a cleaner, more inclusive future.

At STM, we believe that mobility is a basic right, not a privilege. Reliable transportation connects people to essential opportunities such as work, education, healthcare, and community resources. By eliminating transportation barriers and fostering community-driven solutions, STM is building a future where everyone has access to the mobility they need to thrive.

Our Main Goals

1. Providing Free Transportation: We ensure that individuals without reliable transportation have access to essential destinations, including workplaces, medical appointments, schools, and social services, at no cost.

2. Creating Jobs in Communities: By collaborating with local volunteer drivers and independent contractor drivers, STM provides job opportunities that support our mission and strengthen the communities we serve.

What We Do

1. Free Transportation Services
We offer free, reliable transportation to individuals and families in underserved areas. Our services prioritize access to essential destinations, ensuring that lack of mobility is never a barrier to opportunity.

2. Job Creation Through Driving Opportunities
STM collaborates with volunteer drivers and independent contractor drivers from the communities we serve. These partnerships not only help deliver our transportation services but also create jobs and economic opportunities for individuals in local neighborhoods.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by incorporating eco-friendly options such as electric vehicles (EVs) and bike-sharing programs into our services. These solutions align with our mission of promoting sustainability alongside accessibility.

4. Emergency Transportation Support
In times of crisis, STM provides essential transportation services to ensure individuals can reach critical resources such as medical care, shelters, and emergency support centers.

5. Community Engagement and Collaboration
We partner with local governments, nonprofits, and businesses to design transportation solutions that address the unique needs of specific communities. This collaborative approach ensures that our programs are inclusive and effective.

How Our Services Work

• Eligibility Screening: We identify individuals and families in need, focusing on those without access to affordable transportation options.

• Environmental Benefits: Promoting the use of electric vehicles and sustainable transportation options helps reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion.

• Improved Quality of Life: Our services empower individuals and families to overcome transportation barriers, fostering greater independence and social mobility.

How We Are Funded

STM relies on charitable donations and the sale of branded merchandise to fund our operations. These contributions support the purchase and maintenance of vehicles—ranging from cars to buses—and help us expand our services to reach more people in need.

Why STM Matters

Transportation is a lifeline, yet millions of individuals face barriers due to financial constraints, limited public transit, or unreliable options. STM bridges this gap by providing free transportation services and creating job opportunities for drivers in the communities we serve. Our work ensures that no one is left behind, whether they need access to opportunities or the chance to contribute through meaningful employment.
