The International Taxicab and Livery Foundation (ITLF) was chartered in 1987 as a nonprofit charitable organization for the purpose of furthering the progress of the ground transportation industry. In October 2000, ITLF changed its name to the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Foundation in conjunction with the International Taxicab and Livery Association's decision to become the Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association.

​​

In 2025, the Foundation changed its name to The Transportation Alliance Foundation. Foundation ( TTAF ) provides support for research, education, and charitable endeavors for the for-hire transportation industry ( taxicab, limo, paratransit, NEMT, black car, livery, etc.). Established in 1987 as an IRS approved 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) non-profit charitable, research, and education Foundation.

​

Thanks to a generous bequest from the estate of former TLPA member Herman Tate and ongoing membership contributions, TLPF has been able to do the following:

​

• Sponsor and conduct research about the effect of government regulation in our industry

• Produce a professional video about the effect of government regulation in our industry

• Publish studies to improve public understanding and perception of our industry

• Conduct educational programs through the Transportation Management Institute

• Offer scholarships to encourage individuals to pursue a career in transportation management

 

TLPA members may make a tax-deductible charitable contribution in a number of different ways. Each contribution of $10,000 or more will have a separate fund established in the contributor's name within the Foundation. Any educational grant or program generated from that fund will bear the contributor's name.
