Mobility Transportation

Many citizens with mobility needs often do not have access to a vehicle or need door-to-door assistance for routine travel within the Harris County ESD No.8 service area.

OUR GOAL: To maintain a quality of life for individuals who otherwise would not be connected to their essential transportation needs.

We do this by providing transportation services for medical and essential needs, such as, doctor appointments, dialysis, banking, and grocery shopping. We can also accommodate other leisure-type transportation, such as self-care hair or nail appointments, visits to see the family, trips to the public library, and more.

Our mobility vehicles are staffed by courteous, professional drivers and equipped with state-of-the-art lift and restraint systems to accommodate regular, oversized, and electric wheelchairs.

To schedule a trip, call 281-351-8260
