Traveling to/from out-of-state appointments can be daunting for people with mobility challenges. When flying isn’t an option, handicap accessible long distance transportation becomes a vital solution, ensuring safety, comfort, and convenience for wheelchair and stretcher passengers.
Beyond Arizona, there are even more wonderful sights to see and loved ones to meet. However, accessible long-distance rides can be such a challenge.
Have you ever wondered how accessible ride providers handle out-of-state or long distance transportation challenges for disabled patients? Patients may need to get to essential appointments outside of Arizona, but sometimes, their condition may make them unable to fly.
