Non-Emergency Transportation (NEMT)
What is Non-Emergency Transportation?
Non-Emergency Transportation refers to scheduled, safe, and accessible transportation for individuals who do not require emergency medical care but need help getting to:
- Medical appointments (doctor, dentist, therapy, etc.)
- Adult day programs and habilitation centers
- Employment or vocational training sites
- Community activities and social events
- Grocery shopping, pharmacy visits, or other essential errands
This service is particularly vital for individuals who have limited mobility, no access to a personal vehicle, or face challenges using public transportation.
Who Can Use This Service?
Our NEMT services are available to:
- Individuals enrolled in Medicaid waiver programs (such as AAW)
- Adults with developmental, intellectual, or physical disabilities
- Clients participating in other Dignity & Respects programs
We ensure that each transportation plan is personalized, considering the client’s schedule, physical needs, and preferences.
