Deciding on what means of transportation best suits a person’s needs can be difficult. Using the following guidelines can help with that decision.

A wheelchair transport is appropriate for patients of sound mind and can sit in a chair for 1-2 hours.

A littervan transport is for competent patients that are unable to sit due to their medical condition.

Ambulance transportation is necessary for patients with an unstable medical condition, requires constant care or attention and may not be unattended at any time. These transports require a PMNC.
