Running a Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) business means balancing customer satisfaction, safety, and efficiency all at the same time. Maximizing your team’s productivity while minimizing costs is essential for providing outstanding service and staying competitive. How can you make your NEMT business more efficient? Here are some ideas on how to create a better flow in your operations with the Traversa Transport Wheelchair.
The Traversa is designed to help NEMT providers work smarter, not harder. Its thoughtful, time-saving features will transform how your team handles patient transport, helping you increase efficiency across every trip.
Here’s how the Traversa Transport Wheelchair can help your NEMT business thrive.
Save Time with Transfers
Passenger transfers are one of the riskiest parts of the transport. As such, they can take time to do carefully and correctly. The Traversa facilitates safe transfers while eliminating unnecessary delays with its elevating seat height feature. An ergonomic foot pump raises the wheelchair to the height of the bed, which makes transfers faster and easier.
Once you reach the destination, you can raise the client to the level of the exam table, chairs, or other surfaces. Then, the medical staff can assist your driver in performing a lateral transfer. This type of transfer requires less physical effort and can be completed much more efficiently.
This doesn’t just save time for your drivers; it also reduces the risk of strain and injury for both passengers and operators, creating a safer experience for everyone involved.
Reduce Driver Workload
One standout advantage of the Traversa is how it reduces the strain on your staffing schedule. It’s so easy to use that only one driver is needed per trip. Unlike stretchers, which require two attendants, the Traversa’s user-friendly design helps one operator maneuver the wheelchair independently.
Cutting down on labor requirements means you can reduce operational costs without compromising service quality. With Traversa, a single-driver setup becomes a reality, making it possible to take on more customers or route additional trips in your schedule.

Easy Securements with Standard WTORS
Wheelchair securement is often rushed, which leads to dangerous and potentially costly mistakes. Though there’s not a lot of data concerning wheelchair users who are injured in vehicle travel, there are some sobering statistics. Among the injuries found in preliminary reports, 35% were attributed to improperly secured wheelchairs.1 Therefore, NEMT business owners should ensure that their operators have equipment that is quick and easy to secure correctly.
The Traversa Transport Wheelchair eliminates the hassle with its compatibility for standard four-point Wheelchair Tie-Down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS).
Its design allows your team to secure wheelchairs safely and easily by hooking the straps into easy-to-see, welded securement brackets. This straightforward tie-down process allows your NEMT vehicles to get back on the road faster while giving you peace of mind that your drivers aren’t taking unnecessary risks. By streamlining securement time, you’ll not only maintain safety but also ensure on-time arrivals and happy passengers.
Seamless Maneuverability Saves Time During Pickups & Drop-offs
There are many obstacles that can delay drivers, even off the road. Small spaces, busy hallways, and tight turns can all create a problem when using large equipment like stretchers.
These environments are no problem for the Traversa. The Traversa features Pivot Assist technology, which allows for quick and controlled maneuvering in challenging environments. This ensures you spend less time struggling with movement during pickups and drop-offs.
Whether you’re navigating small spaces in a care facility or transporting patients through long hallways, the Traversa’s ability to pivot and glide means you can complete the entire process with ease. With less time spent repositioning, you can focus on completing routes efficiently.
