The Importance of NEMT Services for Veterans in San Bernardino County


Veterans have dedicated their lives to serving our country, and it's our responsibility to ensure they receive the care and support they deserve upon returning home. In San Bernardino County, many veterans face challenges accessing medical services due to transportation barriers. Cali Care Transportation is committed to providing specialized non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) services tailored to meet the needs of our local veterans.


Challenges Faced by Veterans in San Bernardino County

  1. Transportation Barriers

    • Limited Mobility: Some veterans experience mobility issues due to service-related injuries.

    • Rural Areas: Veterans living in remote areas like Joshua Tree or Twentynine Palms may lack access to reliable transportation.

    • Public Transit Limitations: Inadequate public transportation options in areas like Victorville and Apple Valley.

  2. Access to Specialized Care

    • Veterans Affairs (VA) Facilities: The nearest VA medical centers may be located far from a veteran's residence.

    • Scheduling Difficulties: Coordinating transportation with appointment times at facilities like the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans' Hospital in Loma Linda.

  3. Financial Constraints

    • Fixed Incomes: Many veterans are on limited budgets, making it difficult to afford private transportation services.

    • Lack of Awareness: Not knowing about affordable NEMT options available in their area.
