Texas Ramp Project-BCS

The Texas Ramp Project's mission is to provide free wheelchair ramps to low-income recipients with disabilities identified by local health care providers. The ramps are built exclusively with all-volunteer crews following ADA guidelines. The ramps are built without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, age or gender. Our vision is that no one in Texas should go without a ramp because they cannot afford it.

Have you ever changed a person's life in a single day? In a few hours a few days each week, the Bryan-College Station Region of the Texas Ramp Project gives freedom to the home-bound, allowing them to leave their home safely and easily. With a new ramp, clients gain safe access, independence, improved quality of life, and easier exit in a fire or other emergency. Spouses, parents or other caregivers are at less risk vs assisting their loved ones on steps. The ramps also allow older adults to age safely in their own homes.

The Texas Ramp Project (TRP) builds ramps in over 40 Texas regions, including the Brazos Valley. TRP started out in Dallas in 1985 as a Kiwanis Club project and was extended statewide in 2006. Since 1985, the Texas Ramp Project has provided 30,000 ramps across the state of Texas, which would be over 156 miles long if laid out end to end! In the Brazos Valley, we have built over 1200 wheelchair ramps totaling over 7 miles since beginning in 2009.
