Dan Reid Elected President of The Transportation Alliance,

Continuing Legacy of Strong Leadership

Fairfax, VA - The Transportation Alliance (TTA) is proud to announce the election of Dan Reid, President of Grove Transit in Mississippi and Go Ride in Louisiana, as its new president. Dan, a seasoned leader with decades of experience in business and the transportation industry, brings a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the sector, as well as a bold vision for its future.

As a small business owner, Dan has dedicated himself to serving his community by ensuring that everyone has access to affordable, high-quality transportation. His commitment to creating solutions that meet the needs of underserved populations—especially in areas like Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) and microtransit—has earned him the respect of both industry peers and community members alike.

Dan has long been a vocal advocate for policies that support small businesses and independent contractors, striving to create more opportunities for growth and job creation. As president of TTA, he aims to expand these efforts by working closely with industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to build a transportation system that is not only efficient but also equitable and sustainable for all.

“We are in a pivotal moment for the transportation industry,” said Reid. “With the availability of new technologies and service models, my goal is to ensure that every community—large or small—has access to innovative and affordable transportation solutions. I am committed to advocating for fair regulations, fostering innovation, and building partnerships that will enhance the value of our services and improve the quality of life for everyone.”

When asked about TTA’s agenda for the upcoming year, Reid noted,  “While we can’t know what additional issues may rise up of the horizon, our priorities for this year will be to continue to drive value to our members through education and thought leadership, preserve the independent contractor model, and with our recently announced task force, work with industry participants and decision makers to use existing and emerging technology to rid the NEMT industry of the stigma of being “ripe for fraud, waste and abuse”.

Dan's election follows the outstanding leadership of Bill Yuhnke, the immediate past president of TTA. Under Bill's guidance, the industry navigated significant changes, achieving key wins in federal policy and market expansion. His strategic vision and tireless dedication have set a high bar for future leaders.

“Bill Yuhnke’s contributions were invaluable to our industry,” Reid remarked. “His leadership helped us stay unified and strong in the face of change. I am eager to build on his legacy as we tackle the challenges ahead and continue pushing for progress.”

TTA sincerely thanks Bill Yuhnke for his dedicated service to the industry. His leadership in championing NEMT, microtransit, and the independent contractor model has left a lasting impact, paving the way for future success.
