Is wheelchair transportation the right fit?

Wheelchair transportation may fit Pearland passengers who can sit upright but cannot safely transfer into a standard car, use a manual or power wheelchair, need a ramp or lift vehicle, or need door-to-door help between a Pearland home, senior living setting, hospital, dialysis center, or regional clinic.

Wheelchair ride reality in Pearland

Wheelchair-capable records exist in the Texas provider catalog, but a Pearland ride is not final until a provider confirms the route, timing, equipment, and assistance level.

Houston traffic and facility entrance instructions matter for matching.

• 33 Texas provider records are marked wheelchair-capable in the catalog.
