Various entities in New Jersey provide low or no cost transportation services for people with disabilities.

Medical transport is a perfect solution for a variety of different types of clients. But more often than not, Medicare and private insurance won't pay for it.

Will you or your loved one be safe while in transport? How safe is the transportation company's vehicle? Is the driver that has you or your loved one properly trained? The list of concerns is endless.
