CONGRESSMAN DAVIS ANNOUNCES $200K GRANT FOR KID ONE TRANSPORT

U.S. Representative Artur Davis (D-Birmingham) today announced a $200 thousand grant for Kid One Transport of Birmingham from the Appalachian Regional Commission.

The rural healthcare transportation system for children will use these resources to expand its free services. The project is expected to provide 4,000 trips to health professionals in a 23-county area, with 706 of these trips for children and expectant mothers in distressed counties including the Black Belt.

“I can think of no more noble mission than the one assigned to the people of Kid One Transport,” Congressman Davis said. “Working to help children receive the medical attention they need is a wonderful, worthwhile cause. People throughout the Black Belt are especially appreciative of their efforts, and I’m pleased to see their good work continue.”
