OUR STORY

THE STORY BEHIND THE SHIRT

Nearly three decades ago, Said Abdikarim arrived in the United States as a refugee with little more than hope for a new beginning.
Among the first things he received was a simple orange shirt.
It was a small gesture, but it represented something much bigger: welcome, dignity, and possibility.
That shirt never became just a shirt.
It became a reminder of what it means to be welcomed into a new place—and how something as simple as the way you receive a person can stay with them for a lifetime.
Years later, after building a career spanning engineering, nonprofit leadership, public service, and international guest operations, Said carried that lesson into another industry: transportation.

During his work with FIFA, he gained firsthand experience supporting VIP guests and managing the movement of more than 250 people in a high-volume, highly coordinated environment. The experience reinforced a principle that has shaped Orange Shirt Select from the beginning.

Exceptional transportation is not simply about moving people. It is about understanding people, anticipating what they need, and making the journey feel effortless.

That is the idea behind Orange Shirt Select.

 

We provide premium transportation and guest-mobility services for corporate leaders, private clients, visiting dignitaries, production teams, event organizations, and others whose time, privacy, and experience matter.

 

We plan carefully. We communicate clearly. We anticipate problems before they become problems. And we treat every passenger as a guest—not simply a rider.

The orange shirt represents where our story began.

Our service represents where that story has taken us.

From one welcome to every welcome.

FROM ONE WELCOME TO EVERY WELCOME.

Exceptional transportation is not simply about moving people. It is about understanding people, anticipating what they need, and making the journey feel effortless.
