Types of Vehicles Used in Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)

At Amity Non-Emergency Transportation, we provide essential transportation services for individuals who cannot transport themselves to medical appointments. Our fleet includes a variety of vehicles, each designed to meet specific needs and ensure safe, comfortable travel.

Standard Passenger Cars:

Our sedans and minivans are equipped with basic amenities like air conditioning and comfortable seating. These vehicles are ideal for individuals who can walk and get in and out of the vehicle independently. For added safety and efficiency, they may also be outfitted with specialized equipment such as oxygen tanks or security cameras.

Wheelchair-Accessible Vans:

These modified minivans include ramps or lifts and additional space to accommodate wheelchairs. The powered ramps or lifts make it easy for individuals in wheelchairs to enter and exit the vehicle. These vans also feature specialized seating and restraint systems to ensure passenger safety.

Stretcher Vans:

Designed for individuals who cannot sit up or walk, these vehicles are equipped with stretchers and medical equipment. They typically feature hydraulic lifts for easy loading and unloading of stretchers. Additionally, they are equipped with oxygen tanks, monitoring equipment, and other medical supplies to provide necessary care during transit.

Bariatric Vans:

These vehicles are specifically designed to accommodate individuals with size-related needs. They feature reinforced seats and flooring, as well as specialized restraint systems, to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers.

NEMT Buses:

Our buses are used to transport groups of individuals to medical appointments. They come with comfortable seating, air conditioning, and wheelchair lifts. These buses are ideal for those who cannot drive or lack access to transportation. They may also be equipped with specialized seating, restraint systems, and medical equipment to ensure safety and comfort.

Vehicle Suitability and Compliance:

Not all vehicles are suitable for NEMT use. It is essential that our vehicles are modified and equipped to meet the specific needs of the individuals being transported. This includes ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities, equipping vehicles with necessary medical equipment, and meeting state and federal safety standards.

Maintenance and Certification:

We ensure that our vehicles are properly maintained and that our drivers are trained and certified to operate them. Additionally, we hold all necessary permits, licenses, and insurance to provide safe and reliable transportation services.
