We offer transportation so you can visit your doctor, attend medical appointments, and take care of many healthcare-related needs. Our escort drivers help passengers on and off vehicles and may accompany patients with functional deficits in hearing, vision, transferring, and/or comprehension.

Safe & Courteous Drivers

Our drivers are trained to provide passenger assistance, CPR, and first aid. They hold clean driving records and many have received awards for exceptionally safe, accident-free driving.

Safe, Clean Vehicles

Our vehicles undergo a rigorous maintenance program and are in road-safe condition at all times. They are clean and comfortable. The buses and vans are equipped with wheelchair lifts and are handicap-accessible. Passengers in wheelchairs do not have to transfer into another seat because our vehicles are equipped with a wheelchair restraint system. This system allows our wheelchair-bound passenger to enjoy a safe ride without the inconvenience of transferring.
