Curt Hampton’s motto is “Don’t drink and drive, I’m the better choice.” Curt is the owner of Curt’s Cab Transportation Company, based in Ionia, Iowa. Curt offers taxi and shuttle bus transportation services. His specialty is providing transportation for parties and events in northeastern Iowa. Curt’s twenty-passenger shuttle bus is a popular means of transportation for wedding parties in the area. Guests are invited to soap the windows of the shuttle with congratulatory messages for the bride and groom, and enjoy the special day as Curt safely transports them from wedding rehearsal to ceremony to reception.

Iowa Vocational Rehabilitation Services (IVRS) and its Iowa Self-Employment (ISE) program assisted Curt in building his business. Through their programs, Curt received consultation on business planning and marketing needs, financial assistance for purchasing equipment, and technical assistance related to accounting services. The assistance helped him increase his delivery area, maintain current client databases, advertise in new markets, and determine what equipment he needed for the business to prosper.

Curt worked with Iowa Work Incentive Planning and Assistance (Iowa WIPA) to use a Social Security work incentive called a Plan to Achieve Self-Support (PASS) to help save money to pay for business equipment, including his twenty-passenger shuttle bus. He also received technical assistance from national business planning experts in self- employment for people with disabilities, Griffin-Hammis & Associates.
