Non-Medical Transportation (NMT) helps individuals travel safely to destinations that support their daily lives and community involvement. Across Ohio, this service is commonly used by adults with developmental disabilities who need transportation to employment, educational programs, recreational activities, community events, shopping, or other non-medical destinations that may not be easily accessible without support.
How It Works:
Transportation services are typically coordinated around approved community-based activities:
- Transportation needs are identified based on the individual’s authorized services and community participation goals.
- Rides are scheduled for approved destinations that support daily living, employment, education, or social engagement.
- Drivers assist with safe transportation to and from designated locations.
- Travel arrangements are planned to accommodate schedules, accessibility needs, and available services.
- Support may include assistance with entering and exiting vehicles when appropriate.
- Transportation records are maintained according to service requirements and scheduling needs.
What to Expect
The process generally starts by identifying transportation needs and approved destinations. Once transportation is arranged, individuals receive support traveling to planned activities while maintaining their regular schedules and commitments. Consistent coordination helps ensure transportation remains aligned with ongoing service goals and community participation needs.
