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 individuals living independently.
It is expressly not 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 may wish to inquire about either contract or charter
service. Unlike Dial-A-Ride, contract transportation may be pre-scheduled on a
repeating 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 with 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.
