Two Primary Services

Wheelchair Transportation

Our wheelchair-accessible vans are equipped with modern ramps — not hydraulic lifts. Ramps are faster to deploy, quieter, more reliable, and gentler on passengers. Clients can travel in their own manual or power wheelchair; our drivers secure your chair with a full four-point tie-down plus lap belt and shoulder harness for every transport.

🚶

Ambulatory Transportation

Direct assistance for ambulatory clients who need help getting in and out of vehicles, navigating stairs, curbs, thresholds, and obstacles. From your residence to the appointment and back — our staff handles it.

What We Transport For

Our primary services — wheelchair and ambulatory transport — cover a wide range of scheduled medical and non-medical needs, including:

  • Medical Appointments
  • Hospital Discharges
  • Nursing Home Discharges
  • Dialysis Treatments
  • Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy
  • Radiation & Chemotherapy
  • Ambulatory & Elective Surgery
  • Outpatient Appointments
  • Activities & Group Outings
  • Adult Day-Care Programs

How We're Different

🚪

Door-Through-Door

Unlike curb-to-curb services, we escort you from inside your residence to inside your destination. Our staff handles it the whole way.

🎯

Rigorous Hiring & Training

Drivers pass background checks, drug testing, motor vehicle reports, and health physicals. They complete extensive training on patient handling, ramp operation, wheelchair securement, HIPAA, and interpersonal care.

🚐

Modern, Clean, Well-Maintained Fleet

Our vehicles are serviced regularly on a coordinated preventive maintenance schedule. Vehicles and drivers are properly insured and compliant with all federal and state mandates.

Safety: Wheelchair Securement

Safety is our number-one priority. Every loaded wheelchair is secured using a full four-point tie-down connecting to the solid frame of the wheelchair, combined with a lap belt and/or shoulder harness connected to the lap belt. Even passengers who remain in their own power chair with a serviceable lap belt are additionally secured with a company lap belt — no exceptions.

Why ramps instead of lifts? Wheelchair ramps load faster than hydraulic lifts, have fewer mechanical parts that can fail, require less maintenance, and are quieter and gentler for medically fragile passengers. It's a better experience for everyone.

Our Team — Our Greatest Asset

Understanding that our staff is our single greatest asset, MTS is dedicated to effective recruitment, retention, training, development, and promotion of competent, reliable, and professional personnel.

Our driver evaluation and training programs are compliant with all laws and standards required by the states of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, and are designed to ensure safety, competence, and reliability. Every driver completes:

Beyond the physical aspects of the job, drivers are instructed on interpersonal skills for effectively accommodating the needs of our aging clientele. Underscored by the importance of privacy and confidentiality, all drivers are educated on HIPAA rules and facility-specific policies.

Pricing & Payment

Standard base pick-up fees apply plus mileage for each transport. We accept multiple methods of payment, including all major credit cards, check, and cash. Discounts are available for clients paying at the time of transport.

Approved clients with an executed MTS Service Agreement will be invoiced per the terms of the Agreement.
