Frequently Asked Questions

How can I arrange transportation for someone using a wheelchair?
Arranging transportation for wheelchair users often involves contacting specialized non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services or accessible taxi and van companies. These services typically have vehicles equipped with ramps or lifts to accommodate wheelchairs and ensure safe boarding and securement during travel. Booking in advance is usually recommended to guarantee availability and allow for any specific needs to be addressed.
What kind of vehicles are used for special mobility transport?
Vehicles designed for special mobility and wheelchair transport are equipped with features like hydraulic or mechanical lifts and ramps to facilitate easy entry and exit for individuals using wheelchairs or other mobility devices. Inside, these vehicles have securement systems, including straps and tie-downs, to keep wheelchairs stable and passengers safe during transit. There is also adequate space to comfortably accommodate the wheelchair and the passenger.
Do special mobility transport services assist passengers during transfers?
The level of assistance provided during transfers can vary between transportation services. Some companies offer door-to-door service, which may include assisting the passenger from their home to the vehicle and from the vehicle to their destination. However, it’s essential to clarify the extent of assistance offered when booking, especially if the individual requires significant physical support during transfers. Some services may have specific policies regarding liability and the level of personal assistance their drivers can provide.
How is the cost of wheelchair transportation typically determined?
The cost of special mobility and wheelchair transportation can be calculated in several ways. Some services charge a flat fee for specific routes or distances, while others may base their pricing on mileage, the duration of the trip, or a combination of both. Additional factors, such as the time of day, the need for extra assistance, or tolls and parking fees, might also influence the final cost. It’s advisable to get a clear quote from the transportation provider before booking.
What information do I need to provide when booking wheelchair transport?
When booking special mobility or wheelchair transportation, you will typically need to provide detailed information about the passenger’s needs. This includes the passenger’s name, pickup and drop-off addresses, the type and dimensions of the wheelchair or mobility device, and whether the passenger requires any assistance during transfers. Providing accurate information ensures that the appropriate vehicle and level of support are arranged for a comfortable and safe journey.
