Overview

Mission

Point-to-point transportation services for the unhoused. We move people and items.

What it reported doing in 2025

We provide free transportation to unhoused individuals so they can access essential services and participate in community life. We provide on-demand point-to-point services from 9 am to 5 pm, as possible. We also provide a morning/evening shuttle service from/to Food and Shelter (a centralized service location) to/from various shelter facilities in Norman. We have transported most of Norman's unhoused population and we provide regular (at least weekly) services for > 60 people.
