What we do :
Ambitrans has 3 main operational divisions................
 | Wheelchair van transportation - takes wheelchair patients to and from hospitals, clinics, physician offices, therapy, nursing facilities and private homes. Most vans can take several wheelchairs or a single stretcher for those patients who are unable to sit. |
| Non-Emergency Ambulance transportation - only used for patients whose condition requires some level of medical care. Ambulances are staffed by Florida Certified Paramedics and Emergency Medical Technicians. Ambitrans is not a 911 service. |
| Dial-a-Ride contract operator ( public transportation system in Charlotte County, FL ) Charlotte County's public transportation uses small buses with wheelchair access, is scheduled in advance, will pickup and drop off at any location in the County and can be used by anyone for a small fee |
