NEMT Services We Provide in Oakland
YESU Transportation Services provides a range of non-emergency medical transportation services designed to support the different mobility and transportation needs of Oakland passengers.
Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation in Oakland
We provide wheelchair-accessible transportation for passengers using manual or power wheelchairs. Passengers may remain in their wheelchair during transport while it is properly positioned and secured using the vehicle’s wheelchair securement system.
Our trained personnel provide safe, respectful passenger assistance for medical appointments, dialysis, rehabilitation, therapy, hospital discharges, facility transportation, recurring treatments, and other qualifying trips.
Ambulatory Medical Transportation
YESU Transportation Services also provides transportation for ambulatory passengers who can walk independently or with assistance but may require more support than a traditional transportation service provides.
Ambulatory transportation may be appropriate for seniors, individuals with mobility limitations, patients recovering from medical procedures, people attending recurring treatments, and other passengers who may need additional time or assistance getting into or out of the vehicle.
Our goal is to provide a comfortable and respectful transportation experience while taking each passenger's mobility needs into consideration.
Dialysis Transportation
We provide transportation for qualifying wheelchair and ambulatory passengers traveling to and from dialysis treatment appointments. Because dialysis treatment may require transportation several times each week, dependable coordination and communication can be particularly important for patients, families, caregivers, and treatment facilities. Recurring dialysis transportation requests may be submitted to YESU Transportation Services for review. Scheduling is based on passenger needs, trip requirements, service area, vehicle availability, and our ability to safely accommodate the requested transportation schedule.
Hospital Discharge Transportation
YESU Transportation Services provides non-emergency hospital discharge transportation for qualifying wheelchair and ambulatory passengers leaving hospitals and other healthcare facilities in Oakland.
Passengers may require transportation from a hospital or healthcare facility to their home, a skilled nursing facility, rehabilitation center, assisted living community, another healthcare facility, or another appropriate destination.
Hospital discharge times can sometimes change. Transportation requests are therefore reviewed based on the passenger's needs, requested pickup information, scheduling, and vehicle availability.

We provide transportation to and from medical appointments throughout Oakland and surrounding communities.
Destinations may include physicians' offices, specialist appointments, outpatient clinics, medical centers, laboratories, imaging centers, follow-up appointments, treatment centers, and other healthcare destinations.

Therapy & Rehabilitation Transportation

Transportation may be available for both wheelchair and ambulatory passengers based on individual mobility needs and trip requirements. For passengers attending recurring therapy or rehabilitation programs, transportation requests may be reviewed for recurring scheduling based on availability.
Healthcare Facility Transportation
We provide transportation for patients and residents traveling to and from hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, assisted living communities, clinics, medical practices, adult day programs, and other healthcare organizations.
Healthcare facilities may contact YESU Transportation Services to coordinate qualifying wheelchair-accessible and ambulatory passenger transportation.
We understand that healthcare organizations often require dependable communication, organized scheduling, professional passenger assistance, and clear coordination between the facility, passenger, caregiver, and transportation provider.
Door-to-Door Passenger Assistance
