about us
Our Mission
“Every successful healthcare plan must include a consistent, reliable transportation source. Kid One is that source for thousands of Alabama families. Together with healthcare providers, donors, volunteers, and other committed partners, Kid One is transporting children and expectant mothers to better health.”
-Miranda Springer, Executive Director
For Kid One, the mission is simple: transport children and expectant mothers to necessary health care services.
Since 1997, Kid One has been fulfilling this mission as the only 501 (c) (3) nonprofit of its kind in the state of Alabama and one of only a handful of nonprofit transportation providers targeting children in the U.S.
About Us
Our History
Kid One Transport System, Inc. was founded in 1997 by a young firefighter from Hoover, AL: Russell Jackson. The story of Russell’s dream for Kid One began with a tragedy, but resulted in a force for good that has touched thousands of lives across the state of Alabama.
Today, Kid One operates a fleet of 21 vehicles serving 43 counties throughout Alabama. At its inception, Kid One consisted of one man, one van, and a vision for making access to health care a reality for children in need across this state. That vision remains the cornerstone of Kid One today.
Watch What Our Families Have to Say About Us
Over the years, we have had the pleasure of transporting multiple moms and families to their medical appointments.
They have expressed their kind words with us, letting us know just how much their lives have changed for the better.

Every Donation Counts
In 2018, Kid One provided 22,545 rides to medical appointments for children and expectant mothers throughout Alabama. Fill A Tank helps sustain a vital piece of the Kid One Transport program by fueling our 24 vehicles across the state. Every $50 fills a tank, which directly impacts the quality of life for a child now and in the future.
We are asking you to help kids get to appointments with their doctors by donating to Kid One’s Fill A Tank Campaign or becoming a monthly donor.
