What is ambulatory transportation in Charlotte?
Ambulatory transportation in Charlotte, NC is a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) service for riders who can walk and transfer into a vehicle seat on their own or with a little help — a cane, a walker, or a steadying hand from the driver. No wheelchair lift or stretcher is involved, so you ride in the front or back seat of a clean, late-model sedan or van. With no specialized equipment to operate, it is the most affordable NEMT tier we offer.
It is the low-stress way to reach the places that keep you healthy across the Charlotte metro — primary care and specialist visits, physical therapy, lab work and imaging, pharmacy pickups, outpatient procedures, and adult day programs. We serve Charlotte and nearby communities including Matthews, Pineville, Huntersville, Concord, Gastonia, and Mint Hill, with dependable door-to-door rides and recurring standing orders for anyone who wants a friendly, reliable ride to ongoing care.

Ambulatory transportation FAQs
What is ambulatory transportation in Charlotte, NC?
Ambulatory transportation is non-emergency medical transportation for riders who can walk and transfer into a vehicle seat on their own or with minimal help, such as a cane or walker. No wheelchair lift or stretcher is needed, so you ride comfortably in an assisted sedan or van across Charlotte and the surrounding metro.
Can I bring my cane or walker?
Absolutely. There's room for your cane or walker, and your driver will help you board and stow it safely. Our service is built around riders who use these mobility aids.
How is this different from wheelchair transportation?
Ambulatory service is for riders who can walk with minimal help and don't need to stay in a wheelchair. Because it requires no lift or securement equipment, it's our most affordable NEMT tier. If you need to remain seated in a wheelchair, our wheelchair transportation is the right fit.
