Life shouldn’t stop when mobility becomes a challenge. Everyone deserves the chance to enjoy meaningful experiences, whether visiting a local vineyard, attending a concert, joining a Sunday church service, or simply spending time with family at special events. At Cross Care Transport, we believe that accessible transportation is more than just getting from one place to another — it’s about opening doors to joyful, memorable outings that enrich lives.
Through our new Excursions Program, seniors and individuals with disabilities now have the opportunity to participate in recreational outings with comfort, safety, and a true sense of community. With our trusted services already known across New York City, New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley, we’re bringing the same level of personalized care to leisure activities. Here’s how Cross Care Transport makes every outing smooth, secure, and fun — no matter your mobility needs.
Safe and Comfortable Transportation for Every Outing
The success of any excursion begins with reliable transportation. At Cross Care Transport, our iconic Neon Pink vans are more than just vehicles — they symbolize care, dignity, and empowerment.
Depending on each person’s unique needs, we offer:
- Medical Taxi Services for ambulatory passengers who can walk but prefer not to drive.
- Standard Wheelchair Transportation for those who need wheelchair accessibility.
- Luxe Wheelchair Services includes cushioned chairs and ergonomic support for extra comfort on longer trips.
- Chair Lift Services uses our Transcend stair chairs, ideal for individuals navigating homes or venues without elevators.
Care Attendants Who Go the Extra Mile
During excursions, it’s not just about getting there — it’s about feeling supported every step of the way. Cross Care Transport’s care attendants provide extra assistance during outings, helping participants with boarding, transferring between chairs, navigating uneven terrains, and even managing small personal needs during trips.
With skilled professionals accompanying each excursion, participants can fully relax and focus on enjoying their day without worrying about logistics or physical barriers.
