Lion’s Disability Transport Service (LDTS) mission is to provide transportation to those who deem themselves disabled and cannot access any other forms of transportation to get to where they need or want to go. LDTS is committed to professional and friendly service to those who utilize our service. LDTS is located in Cheyenne Wyoming and serves all of Laramie County. With the current transportation barrier in Laramie County Wyoming, those with disabilities are unable to access transportation to access basic needs and needed appointments. The VISTA member will help develop and expand LDTS dispatch system and volunteer base. The VISTA will support efforts in program development & delivery, financial resource development, community volunteer recruitment & public relations &outreach. Understanding the grant process and program development is a plus for the applicant. Being a VISTA member with LDTS will help reduce the social stigma and allow people with disabilities to feel more comfortable in society.
