Transportation

EITAS recognized from its inception that safe and reliable transportation for adults with developmental disabilities was critical in supporting self-independence and integration.  Therefore, in 1992 EITAS implemented its own Transportation Division.  Today, EITAS transports over 430 individuals to and from work throughout Jackson County.  In addition, EITAS provides specialized weekend and evening transportation.

Our Commitment

From the very beginning, DOT has been committed to providing professional, safe and on-time transportation. You can be sure there’s a well-trained driver behind the wheel of each DOT bus or van. Our drivers are schooled not only in the rules of the road but in first aid, CPR and lifting techniques too. Plus, each driver undergoes a background check and screening for alcohol and drug use.

You can also be sure that each bus or van is well maintained. With support from the Missouri Department of Transportation, DOT has been able to purchase, maintain and replace, when necessary, a fleet of 27 busses and vans – many of which have a lift and space for persons who use a wheelchair for mobility.
