When a passenger needs additional accommodations because of body size or mobility limitations, bariatric transportation may provide an appropriate non-emergency transportation option. The service may be considered for eligible passengers traveling to medical appointments, healthcare facilities, or other appropriate destinations when standard transportation does not adequately accommodate their circumstances. Transportation arrangements depend on the passenger’s needs, available equipment, applicable safety requirements, and confirmation of service availability.
How It Works
The transportation is arranged around the passenger’s mobility and accommodation requirements:
- Transportation using equipment appropriate for the passenger’s size and mobility needs
- Accommodation for passengers who require additional space or specialized transportation considerations
- Assistance with entering, positioning, and exiting the vehicle as appropriate
- Transportation to medical and healthcare-related destinations
- Consideration of equipment limitations and applicable safety requirements
What to Expect
Before transportation is arranged, the passenger or someone assisting them provides information about mobility needs, size-related accommodations, pickup location, destination, and other relevant trip details. The transportation arrangement is then reviewed against available equipment, safety requirements, and service availability before the trip is confirmed. On the scheduled day, the passenger receives transportation using the appropriate available accommodations for the confirmed trip.
