ORT SWAG has arrived! Show your support for Ozark Regional Transit while giving back to the next generation of occupational therapy professionals!

This exclusive ORT Tee was created in collaboration with the Student Occupational Therapy Association at the University of Arkansas – Fayetteville / University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (SOTA) and Krista Hogan, a student in the UAMS Occupational Therapy Program.

Inspired by the communities we serve every day, this design celebrates the freedom, connection, and independence that public transportation brings to Northwest Arkansas.

For the first 75 shirts sold, net proceeds will be donated directly to the UAMS Student Occupational Therapy Association to support future students and the important work they do!

Thank you for supporting Ozark Regional Transit and helping invest in the future of occupational therapy. Every purchase helps tell the story of public transit while making a meaningful impact.
