Easy Lift Mobility Training Service
Mobility gives people independence. To provide transportation options for seniors and the physically challenged, Easy Lift created our Mobility Training Program. Our mobility trainer will work one-on-one with individuals to teach them such skills as how to read and use the MTD bus schedule, where to catch the MTD bus they need, and so on. Our trainer will even ride with program participants on a repeated basis until they feel comfortable navigating the fixed route bus service on their own.
Contract and Charter Services
Easy Lift’s Dial-A-Ride program is dedicated to service for individuals living independently. It is not expressly designed for group homes and/or programs desiring transportation of their clients/residents for programs or recreational purposes. Organizations needing to get clients to activities can meet their transportation needs by contracting with Easy Lift for service. We offer special group rates, usually billed by the hour, which vary depending upon the logistics involved.
If more than two people (not including approved attendants) wish to travel to and from the same location/destination, they are required to use either contract or charter service.
Unlike Dial-A-Ride, contract transportation may be pre-scheduled on a recurring basis for whatever duration may be required. Contract and charter services are scheduled subject to availability.
Project Safe Streets
Many organizations operate their own vans but have no way to train their drivers. Through our driver trainer, East Lift’s Project Safe Streets program provides training tailored to meet each agency’s specific needs.
Radio Dispatch Service
Any organization that has its own vans knows the need for communication between drivers when they are on the road. In 1988, Easy Lift established the Human Service Radio Network. Today, Easy Lift dispatches almost 40 vans from several local non-profit agencies via our dispatch communications center. There is a nominal monthly fee for the service. Interested agencies should contact our office.
