What Is Companion Transportation — and Who Really Needs It?
Because Sometimes, You Need More Than Just a Ride
Transportation is more than getting from point A to point B — especially for those who are elderly, recovering, or living with disabilities. That’s where Companion Transportation comes in.
Unlike standard ride services, Companion Transportation offers personalized, hands-on support throughout the entire journey — helping riders feel safe, confident, and never alone.
So, What Exactly Is Companion Transportation?
It’s a type of transportation designed for individuals who need assistance beyond the vehicle. That means your companion:- Helps you get ready for your appointment or outing
- Walks with you from your home to the vehicle
- Assists with stairs, walkers, or mobility challenges
- Waits during the appointment, if needed
- Ensures safe return home and entry into your residence
It’s more than a driver — it’s a trusted partner in your journey.
Who Benefits from Companion Ride Services?
