Tammy Parker the founder and CEO of Short Ride Transportation is a loving mom and caregiver. “Short Ride” was named after my father and built on a family legacy of care. My parents began fostering after my two sisters and I (we’re triplets) had grown up and left the home. My mother was especially instrumental, showing compassion to every child who entered her home. She inspired all three of us to become foster parents ourselves, and over 23 years ago, we followed her lead. I’m also a proud mom of a daughter with an intellectual disability, which gives me a deep understanding of the kind of support families need. This business is personal because I know what it’s like to want your child in safe, caring hands.
