Driving Opportunity: DART & Alliance Industries
Transportation is more than just getting from one place to another - it's the key to opportunity, independence, and quality of life. For many in our community - especially individuals with disabilities, low-income families, and those living in underserved areas - reliable transportation is out of reach.
​
DART and Alliance Industries partners together to explore ways to reduce the cost for Alliance team members through fundraising efforts and different grant avenues. Providing rides to our Alliance members will help put the wages they earn directly back into their pockets.
​
Let's drive opportunity together by connecting people and empowering lives!
