These are care journeys we serve, not separate services. Every ride is dispatched as either [wheelchair-accessible](https://www.driveavi.com/wheelchair-transportation/) or [ambulatory transportation](https://www.driveavi.com/ambulatory-transportation/). ## Booking a medical ride with AVI Four steps from the first call to a clean handoff at the clinic — built so caregivers and patients always know what's next. ### Book Reserve a wheelchair or ambulatory ride online or by phone, ideally 24 hours ahead — same-day requests are accommodated when our schedule allows. ### Confirm We confirm the vehicle type, pickup window, and any access notes. Recurring trips like dialysis become standing reservations on the board. ### Pickup Your trained driver arrives within the pickup window, helps door-through-door, and uses ADA-compliant ramps, lifts, and four-point securement when needed. ### Care You arrive on time at the right medical entrance. We coordinate with care staff and dispatch the return ride so the day runs smoothly.

Non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) is scheduled, non-ambulance transport for people who need to get to medical appointments, dialysis, hospital discharges, rehab, or other care, but who do not need emergency response. AVI Transportation provides wheelchair and ambulatory NEMT across the Boston Metropolitan area. ### What areas around Boston do you serve? AVI Transportation serves the entire Boston Metropolitan area, including Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, Quincy, Norwood, Dedham, Needham, Westwood, Canton, and Milton, and surrounding cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts. ### Do you provide NEMT outside Boston, elsewhere in Massachusetts? AVI is based in Norwood, MA, and our core service area is Greater Boston across Suffolk, Middlesex, and Norfolk counties. For medical trips elsewhere in Massachusetts, call dispatch at +1 (617) 237-6282 and we will confirm whether we can take the ride. ### Do you offer wheelchair-accessible vehicles? Yes. Our wheelchair-accessible fleet includes vans equipped with automatic ramps and lifts and is operated by drivers trained in safe wheelchair securement and patient assistance. ### What is the difference between wheelchair and ambulatory transportation? Wheelchair transportation uses an accessible van with a ramp or lift and four-point securement, so passengers stay seated in their own wheelchair. Ambulatory transportation is for passengers who can walk and transfer into a standard vehicle on their own or with light assistance. ### Can a caregiver or family member ride along? Usually, yes — subject to seat availability. Mention it when you book so dispatch can assign the right vehicle. ### How do I book a medical ride with AVI? You can book online from our Book a Ride page or call +1 (857) 416-9394 to schedule. For dispatching and same-day support call +1 (617) 237-6282. ### How far in advance should I book? We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance to guarantee availability. Same-day requests are accommodated when our schedule allows — please call dispatch at +1 (617) 237-6282. --- *AVI Transportation LLC, 28 Cross St, Norwood, MA 02062.
