What Is Wheelchair Accessible Transportation?

Wheelchair accessible transportation is a specialized non-emergency medical transportation service designed for individuals who use wheelchairs, whether manual or powered. Our vehicles are specifically outfitted with manual or hydraulic ramps and lifts, wheelchair securement systems, and spacious interiors that allow passengers to ride safely and comfortably without leaving their wheelchair.

Every vehicle in our wheelchair-accessible fleet meets or exceeds ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements. This means wide doorways, slip-resistant ramp surfaces, four-point tie-down systems that secure the wheelchair during transit, and shoulder-lap belt restraints for passengers. Our drivers are trained in proper wheelchair securement procedures and passenger assistance techniques, ensuring your safety from door to door.

We understand that wheelchair users often face significant barriers to accessing healthcare. Long wait times for paratransit, unreliable scheduling, and vehicles that are not properly equipped can all prevent patients from keeping critical medical appointments. Care Ride Transportation eliminates these barriers by providing dependable, on-time wheelchair transport that you can count on, ride after ride.
