For someone who uses a wheelchair, the vehicle matters as much as the driver. A van without the right ramp, lift, or securement system is not just inconvenient it is unsafe. That is why First Med Transit built a fleet around accessibility first, serving wheelchair users, seniors, and mobility-impaired passengers throughout Sacramento and the surrounding county. Every vehicle in our fleet is maintained, inspected, and equipped to transport riders and their mobility devices safely. Below is a clear look at the vans we operate, the safety features inside them, and how to book one.
Loading a wheelchair into a van is only the first step. Keeping the rider and the device secure for the entire trip is what actually protects them.
Vehicles equipped for NEMT trips to dialysis, rehabilitation, hospital discharges, and other medical care.
Accessible vans suited to older adults who use mobility aids or need extra support boarding and exiting.
Vehicles configured for a range of accessibility needs, from manual wheelchairs to powered mobility devices.
Reliable, accessible transport for routine and recurring medical appointments throughout Sacramento.
For trips involving more than one rider, or a rider plus companions, we offer vehicles with the capacity to seat additional passengers.
We operate a range of accessible vehicles so we can match the right van to each rider’s mobility device and transfer needs rather than forcing everyone into the same setup.
Our wheelchair accessible vans are equipped to ADA accessibility standards, with ramps, lifts, securement systems, and interior space needed to transport wheelchair users safely
Side entry vans allow wheelchair users to board from the curbside, making transfers easier in tight parking situations and allowing riders to sit comfortably alongside companions.
Rear entry vans load from the back and provide a longer, centered ramp position. They work well for larger powered wheelchairs and limited access locations.
Depending on the vehicle, we use powered ramps, manual ramps, or hydraulic lifts. We select the right loading system for safe and comfortable access.
Beyond ramps and lifts, our vehicles include grab rails, low step entry, secure tie down points, and spacious interiors for comfortable travel.
Our team can provide door through door assistance when needed, helping passengers navigate pickups, drop-offs, and mobility challenges with greater confidence.
Call, book online, or have a caregiver or coordinator arrange the trip. Tell us the pickup location, destination, time, and the type of mobility device involved.
We confirm the right vehicle, ramp or lift type, and any assistance required so the van that arrives actually fits the rider’s needs.
