Wheelchair Transportation in North and Central New Jersey

If getting into a car means a painful transfer, or a wheelchair will not fold into the trunk, a wheelchair-accessible van solves the problem. With StepRite, the rider stays in their own chair from home to the appointment and back.

Who It Is For

Who this service is for

  • People who use a manual or power wheelchair full-time.
  • People who can walk a little but cannot safely climb into a car or sit in a standard seat for the trip.
  • People recovering from surgery, a stroke or an injury who are using a wheelchair for now.

If the rider cannot sit upright for the whole trip, a wheelchair van is not the right vehicle. Tell us when you call and we will help you work out the right option.

The Ride

What the ride looks like

  1. At the door. The driver comes to the door and helps the rider to the van.
  2. Boarding. The rider rolls on using the van’s.
  3. Securing. The driver locks the wheelchair to the floor with and fastens the rider’s seat belt.
  4. On the road. Corners and bumps are taken slowly; nobody is rushed.
  5. At the destination. The driver helps the rider off and to the entrance, and confirms the plan for the trip home.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to get out of my wheelchair?

No. You ride in your own chair, secured to the van floor.

Is a wheelchair van the same as an ambulance?

No. A wheelchair van is for people who can sit up and are medically stable. An ambulance is for people who must lie down or need medical monitoring on the way.
