About DOTSAPs
My name is Tommy McCann. I’m a therapist, DOT-qualified SAP, Certified Employee Assistance Professional, and co-owner of HM Behavioral Health. I also spent several years working as an EAP for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Rather than turn this page into a long professional bio, you can learn more about my background through my website at HM Behavioral Health.

Site Background
DOTSAPs originally started as a simple website for my own SAP services. As my work shifted and I began conducting fewer SAP evaluations, I started thinking about what else I could do with a site that was already focused on the Return-to-Duty process. With recent changes affecting drivers without a current employer, expanding it into a SAP and C/TPA directory seemed like a much more useful direction.
Transparency
Most SAPs have probably noticed the growing number of new directory and lead-generation websites reaching out to providers. DOTSAPs is not a lead-generation company and there is no call center behind it. Drivers and employers can contact listed providers directly. I do not sell or distribute leads. If a driver or employer reaches out to me directly, I will always give them the contact information of the SAP or C/TPA closest to their location. If you have any question or feedback, or would like to connect, please reach out.
DOTSAPs is independently operated and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of Transportation, FMCSA, or any other government agency.
Why a limited number of SAPs & C/TPAs per state?
One of the decisions I made when rebuilding DOTSAPs was to intentionally limit the number of SAP listings available in each state. There are already resources that provide large lists of SAPs, and I didn't want DOTSAPs to simply become another long directory of names and phone numbers.
The goal is to keep the directory smaller, useful, and current. By limiting the number of listings in each state, DOTSAPs can provide drivers, employers, DERs, and C/TPAs with a manageable group of SAPs who are actively maintaining a presence in the directory.
This does not mean that the SAPs listed here are the only qualified SAPs in a state, nor does a DOTSAPs listing represent an endorsement or certification by the U.S. Department of Transportation. There are many qualified SAPs who are not listed on DOTSAPs. The directory is simply intended to provide another practical resource for finding professionals who work within the DOT Return-to-Duty process.
