Building Freedom and Restoring Independence right here in East Texas
Every day, simple steps can become impossible barriers.
The Texas Ramp Project (TRP) is changing that—one home, one family, one life at a time. We provide safe, custom-built wheelchair ramps at no cost to low-income older adults and people with disabilities, restoring mobility, dignity, and independence.
Each ramp begins with a referral from a healthcare provider and ends with a team of dedicated volunteers building more than just a structure—they’re building freedom.
Since 1985, TRP has constructed over 32,000 ramps across Texas. Placed end to end, that’s 139 miles of access and opportunity—farther than the drive from Dallas to Waco. But the real impact isn’t measured in miles. It’s measured in moments:
In 2025 alone, volunteers built over 2,800 ramps statewide, including 300+ right here in East Texas— each one a lifeline for someone in need.
The impact goes beyond the individual. Families gain peace of mind. Caregivers find relief. Communities grow stronger.
And you can be part of it.
Whether you give, volunteer, or advocate, your support helps remove barriers and restore independence for your neighbors. No construction experience is needed—just a willingness to make a difference.

Together, we’re not just building ramps. We’re building freedom, dignity, and hope.
The Texas Ramp Project's mission is to create and sustain local organizations in Texas to build free wheelchair ramps for low-income older adults and others with disabilities. Since incorporating in 2006, the Texas Ramp Project has set up local organizations in over 40 Texas regions. The ramps are built by all-volunteer crews. Clients are accepted without regard to age, gender, religion, race or ethnicity. The ramps are built following ADA guidelines and are safe, strong and durable. Our vision is that no one in Texas should go without a ramp because they cannot afford it.
TRP's current needs are twofold. Funding is needed to support ramp construction, and volunteers are needed to serve as region coordinators, surveyors, team leaders and build crews. TRP also needs volunteers who are interested in helping with the critical back-office, administrative projects, including administrative, bookkeeping, accounting, technology and IT, writing and editing, public relations, fundraising, financial management, and other professional skills that can help shepherd a growing nonprofit toward maturity.
Ramps are built without regard to age, gender, religion, race or ethnicity.
