Fairfax, Fairfax County

Accessible Medical Transportation for Fairfax Riders

When a passenger stays in their chair for the journey, everything depends on how it is loaded and secured. That part is not negotiable, whatever the schedule looks like.

02Fairfax context

Securement is the whole job

An accessible ride is judged in the first three minutes. Ramp angle, approach space, four-point tie-downs, then a separate belt for the passenger. Get that wrong and the rest of the trip is unsafe no matter how smooth the driving is.

Fairfax riders often need this level of care combined with distance. A large county means longer journeys, and a chair that shifts on a highway is a serious problem, so the loading is done properly before anything moves.

Describe the property when booking. Sloped driveways and narrow thresholds change how the pickup is planned, and occasionally they rule out a location.
