The present invention is a hand sanitizer, air purification, fogger vehicle mount, or combination thereof, attach to a dashboard of a vehicle. Its purpose is to maximize disinfecting opportunities as a countermeasure to the spread of disease, including COVID-19. As a hand sanitizer, this invention is a hand-free device that minimizes cross-contamination among vehicle patrons during operation. A sensor, activated by hand proximity, sends a signal to a controller, then to a pump to dispense a portion-controlled volume of hand sanitizer. To disinfect airborne antigens, HEPA filtration and UV light are utilized. Pathogen lingering on surfaces are disinfected by a fogger, which dispenses atomized droplets throughout a vehicle. To eliminate exposure to nebulized sanitizer, the controller may receive a wireless signal from outside the vehicle. Independently powered, a vehicle can be sanitized each time it arrives at a destination, made ready to transport the next group of patrons safely. 1. An apparatus to sterilize a vehicle compartment comprising:a dispenser, wherein the dispenser delivers sanitizer from a refill cartridge through a pump, then through a spout;the pump is activated by a sensor, wherein the sensor detects a person's hand proximity;the dispenser is removably fastened to a mount, wherein the mount is removably fastened to an arm, wherein the arm has one or more joint;the arm is attached to a base, wherein the base houses a suction cup that forms a removable seal with a pad, wherein the pad is secured on a dashboard of a vehicle.2.
