Direct answer
What is stair assistance transportation?
Stair assistance transportation is a scheduled non-emergency ride for a medically stable passenger whose path between a residence, building, healthcare facility and vehicle includes stairs. The provider reviews the passenger’s mobility, both access routes and the complete trip before deciding whether the request can be safely accommodated.
Who may request an assessment

Post-procedure passengers
Medically stable riders traveling after a cleared procedure or discharge with mobility changes explained in advance.
Recurring-treatment riders
Passengers attending dialysis, rehabilitation or other scheduled care who need consistent route planning.
