Fostering independence by providing mobility options

Our mission is to provide coordinated transportation services for all citizens of the Brookings area

Lack of transportation to and from school is an issue for many struggling families this year. You can help! The Day of Giving is on December 1st and BATA is using this year's proceeds to assist in the cost of transportation for area students. BATA will be donating 1 ride for every 10 rides ($30) that are purchased this year on the Day of Giving!
