Why Choose Our Traversa™ Chair Service Versus an Ambulance?
Ideal For:
- Hospital discharges that don’t require EMS
- Non-emergency appointments and procedures
- Patients needing additional support and stability
- Individuals requiring bariatric-capable transport
The Right Care for the Right Situation
Not every call requires an ambulance.
Too often, emergency medical services (EMS) are dispatched for non-emergency situations simply because safer, more affordable options don’t exist. That’s where we come in.
Our new Traversa™ service fills that gap—freeing up EMS resources for true emergencies while offering passengers a more accessible and compassionate ride. The service is not only reliable and cost-effective, it’s less than half the cost of an ambulance and incredibly convenient. Passengers can remain in the chair during their appointments, eliminating unnecessary transfers.
Comfort & Dignity for Every Ride
The Traversa™ chair is designed for maximum passenger comfort:
- Heat-activated materials that conform to the body
- Shock-absorbing frame for a smooth ride
- 20-degree tilt capability (passengers must be able to tolerate this during transport)
The Traversa accommodates up to 90% of patients who would otherwise need a stretcher, ensuring a more dignified discharge and higher satisfaction with the level of care.
When you ride with Black & White Transportation, you’re choosing more than a ride—you’re choosing excellence. We’re proud that our Paratransit Division is the only NEMTAC accredited Non-Emergency Medical Transportation provider in the state of Ohio. That means every trip meets the highest national standards for safety, training, and customer care.
