What Is Wheelchair Transportation in South Baltimore?
Wheelchair-accessible transportation is scheduled travel for a passenger who uses a compatible wheelchair or transport chair and needs an appropriate vehicle rather than a standard car, taxi or ordinary rideshare.
In South Baltimore, wheelchair rides commonly connect rowhomes, waterfront apartments, senior settings and care facilities with MedStar Harbor Hospital, downtown medical campuses, dialysis centers, rehabilitation programs and specialist offices. Palmer serves medically stable passengers and does not replace emergency ambulance care.

Planning Wheelchair Pickups Across South Baltimore
