Company

In 2013, Tanya Biggers and Larry Biggers, Sr. had a vision - to architect a new approach to NEMT and paratransit services that would offer a dynamic, responsive network of entrepreneurs who could raise the bar on the industry’s standard of service.

Today, Big Star Transit cultivates a diverse network of Owner-Operators and Small Business Enterprises from our local communities and mentors them to become responsible, high-performance business owners. Through the heart & hard work of our Team Members, Operators, and client-partners, we’ve reinvented the passenger experience, while bringing a new standard of service, safety, and performance to the industry.

Developing The Entrepreneurial Spirit

The success of Big Star Transit has been built on one foundational principle: to develop a capable, can-do network of Owner-Operators and Small Business Enterprise partners who find purpose and joy in business ownership. After 20+ years in the industry, watching costs rise and service quality deteriorate, Tanya and Larry, Sr. saw a new possibility:

  • Educating every day drivers to become entrepreneurs and Owner-Operators
  • Providing the opportunity and resources Small Business Enterprises need to support contracts that would otherwise be inaccessible to them
  • Redistributing the economics in the industry to support the entrepreneurs we partner with, who reinvest back into their communities
  • Setting a new standard of service based on pride & integrity

Big Star is honored to be the starting point for thousands of first-time entrepreneurs. We offer a comprehensive suite of resources to support their independent business success.
