Bringing More Accessible Options to Paratransit with Broda Traversa Chair Support
When it comes to safe, reliable, and accessible transportation, Black & White has long been a trusted name in Toledo and the Northwest Ohio area. We’re proud to introduce an exciting new addition to our paratransit division: transportation services featuring the Broda Traversa Chair — a state-of-the-art solution offering enhanced comfort, safety, and dignity for passengers who need more than a standard wheelchair or stretcher ride.
What Is the Broda Traversa Chair, and Why Does It Matter?
The Broda Traversa Chair is a breakthrough in mobility support — designed as a transport and positioning chair that offers superior pressure relief, postural support, and maneuverability. Unlike traditional stretchers or wheelchairs, the Traversa enables patients to remain comfortably seated during transit and appointments, reducing the need for multiple transfers and increasing overall safety.
Bridging the Gap in Emergency Medical Services
EMS teams are often called out for non-emergency transportation simply because there are no better alternatives. Our new Traversa-equipped paratransit service bridges this gap — freeing up emergency responders while offering a more affordable, safe, and reliable transportation solution.
In fact, our service costs less than half the price of an ambulance. Plus, it allows patients to remain in their chair throughout the trip, even during appointments.
A Game-Changer in Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT)
We designed this service to make life easier, whether you’re a caregiver, a medical professional, or someone who needs regular transport with accessible accommodations. The Broda Traversa Chair isn’t just compatible with our vehicles — it elevates our entire approach to mobility.
What Paratransit Services Does Black & White Transportation Offer?
We provide a full range of paratransit and NEMT services designed to meet diverse mobility needs, including:
- Medical appointments
- Hospital discharges
- Physical therapy visits and rehab
- Dialysis sessions
- Group home or assisted living transportation
- Behavioral health programs
- Adult day programs
- Special school or community events
And now, with BRODA-compatible vehicles, we’re raising the bar for those who require a higher level of mobility care.
Significance of Traversa-Compatible Paratransit
Transportation options have historically been limited for individuals in need of high mobility support like Traversa Chairs. Many providers either lack the right equipment or improperly accommodate the chairs, leading to unsafe or stressful experiences.
Our newly equipped vehicles include:
- The Broda Traversa Chair
- Extra space for secure chair positioning
- Advanced securement systems
- Smooth-ride suspension to protect against jarring movements
- Drivers trained specifically to handle Traversa Chairs
These features allow passengers to stay in their chair during transport, avoid unnecessary transfers, and feel confident about every ride.
Making Life Easier for Families and Caregivers
Families and caregivers already have enough on their plate. Worrying about how to get their loved one to a doctor’s appointment or if the ride will be uncomfortable shouldn’t add to the stress. Our expansion into Traversa Chair transport gives everyone peace of mind.
Scheduling is easy, and rides can be booked in advance or on a recurring schedule. Whether you’re transporting someone weekly or just once in a while, we’re ready when you are.

Who Benefits from Accessible Transportation Services with Traversa Chairs?
This level of paratransit care is ideal for passengers with:
- Neurological conditions like ALS, MS, or Parkinson’s
- Advanced age and frailty
- Bariatric needs
- Long-term rehab or post-op recovery
- Multiple disabilities requiring a high-support chair
Many of these individuals have had trouble getting around in the past. By recognizing the specific equipment they need, like Traversa Chairs, and adjusting our service to support them, we’re opening doors to remove those barriers.
Beyond Medical Appointments: A Path to Better Quality of Life
Of course, trips to and from medical offices are the most common use for paratransit. But they’re not the only ones. Passengers can book our Traversa paratransit rides for other essential needs, including:
- Family gatherings and holidays
- Religious services
- Grocery shopping and errands
- Pharmacy pickups
- Leisure outings for mental health and social well-being
Isolation can take a toll on anyone’s well-being. We believe no one should be confined to their home due to lack of transportation. Our service empowers freedom and connection.
