Dominant Transportation Privilege

From the previous transportation barriers and upcoming challenges, the public transportation difficulties are consecutively rising. As we know that transportation brings a change in our life. It makes us eligible for moving from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ easily and quickly. It helps us directly or indirectly to make happening of life merriment. It doesn’t matter how it happens. This is essentially all transportation is.

Nowadays, every individual looking for better transportation resources, for accessing various opportunities for obtaining educational facilities, employments opportunities or for some private purposes. In all cases, the transportation helps us in making our ideas happen. Whatever we decide to do but without transportation deed, it becomes somehow impossible.

Some previous records are met that define the necessity for special transportation facilities as below:

United States Accident Report: The upcoming transportation requirements for safety and security were highly solicited by senior citizens and by those, who are unable to walk properly and having various disability issues. The Statistic report by the census bureau of the United States describes that the total no. of an accident in 2009 is about 55 million (land crashes such as highway fatalities). And 22.02 million becomes injured and 33.8 million lost their lives. Traffic fatalities related to on-road all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) represented 1 per cent of total motor vehicle traffic fatalities each year from 2004 to 2013. The yearly ATV-related fatality counts from 2004 to 2013 ranged from a low of 307 in 2012 to a high of 381 in 2008, according to the NHTSA’s (National Highway Traffic safety Administration) report. This issue becomes the critical for improving the transportation facilities with non-emergency transportation needs that will be able to provide safety and security to lives.

United States Poverty Status Report: In 2014, the official poverty rate was 14.8 per cent. There were 46.7 million people in poverty. Neither the poverty rate nor the number of people in poverty was statistically different from the 2013 estimates. Poverty rates are persistently higher in rural and inner city parts of the country as compared to suburban areas. In 1979-2009, 14.3%  population lived in poverty of total US population (43.6 million), 13.2%  population lived in poverty of total US population (39.8 million) in 2009 and in 2015, 16% population lived in poverty of total US population. It is increasing day by day. Thus, there must be some special transportation facilities that may easily afford by the poverty groups of the nation for accessing medical facilities.

Disability Statistic Report: In the United States, approximately 56.7 million people (18.7 percent) of the 303.9 million in the civilian non-institutionalized population had a disability in 2010. About 38.3 million people (12.6 percent) had a severe disability. About 12.3 million people aged 6 years and older (4.4 percent) needed assistance with one or more activities of daily living (ADLs).

All these reasons suggest us that the United States of America needs specially equipped transportation facilities. With such transportation facilities, the senior citizens will become eligible to support their health objectives and to obtain assistance and ambulatory support. It will help the nation to promote the poverty groups and to reduce the road fatalities by enabling the ambulatory and supportive rides.

Access to care-non emergency medical transportation

According to Medicaid, CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) and other mandatory health programs, “non-emergency medical transportation” services programs will be able to serve millions of peoples in the United States of America. With the accessible and affordable transportation rides, many of families, children with disability, pregnant women, and many other adults or senior citizens becomes independent and more comfortable. With such transportation practices, over 36 million peoples get better health benefits and opportunities. Now they can access the transportation for achieving various accomplishments such as education facilities, employments opportunities and to complete their medical appointments.

Conditions prior to introducing Non-Emergency Medical Transportation

Prior to bringing the NEMT (Non-Emergency Medical Transportation) services, the transportation facilities are not well-designed according to the need of aged, senile and disabled peoples. They feel unhappy with such accessibility transportation and easily become frustrated, while waiting at the bus stops and street corners. There are not enough arrangements for assistance during critical issues such as heart attacks, serious health medication for senior or aged peoples. On the other hand, there is no long term support for senior people and persons with disability. More often, they were not able to access the education facilities and employment opportunities, for their personal growth. For senior peoples, going to Clinics and hospitals for regular health check-ups becomes impracticable due to incapable transportation and higher regular costs.

Benefits of Non-Emergency Medical Transportation services

 Now with Non-Emergency medical transportation services, anyone can access the appropriate and affordable resources of ambulatory transportation, within affordable charges and suitable accessibility. NEMT encourages the disability health with its appreciable servicing kinds. People may acquire this transportation from their homes with one call to action that also facilitates them to “no more wait at street corners or public bus stops. With cost effective prices, this service going to be reshaped the available medical practices and transportation facilities. 

NON-EMERGENCY TRANSPORT FOR THE PEOPLE, WHO’S ELIGIBLE TO INFEST

Non-emergency medical transportation services enable the person to come out of the disability situation and also help them to create their own world of independent for the physically challenged as well as senior citizens, who’s mostly dependent over others for performing their actions. Now, disability just becomes a word, not more than that.

That before, public transportation becomes so much cramped; and one, whose desires for a convenient transportation feels disappointed with these uncomfortable transit services. For normal peoples it is easy to tolerate, but what about those peoples, who were wholly dependent upon these transportation units and they have to tolerate such circumstances, because they don’t have any other selection out there. In whole of United States, there are at least 36 million peoples, who were suffering from at least one disability issue such as visionary disability, walking disability, hearing disability, handicapped, and many other physically disabilities, as wise. They all feel frustrated with such available transportation and therefore, unable to access various opportunities for brightening their future. And then thinks about some special transportation services for accessing various facilities for their pleasure and happiness.

                         Transportation for the peoples, who are physically challenged

For this purpose, the United States (US) government promotes the non-emergency medical transportation servicing rides for the health benefits of the general public. These Transportation services enable the physically challenged people to gain the advantage of such ride as well as attentive transport ride. At present, with the help of non-emergency medical transportation, people might be able to access various education facilities and employment opportunities. Really, this is one of the great virtual acts that enable the society to put down the discrimination between peoples and communicate a great message that

“It’s not our disabilities; it’s our abilities that are countable.”

A Supportive Transport Ride is now available for Physically Challenged Individuals even during non-Emergencies

Disability is not yet a major issue amongst the society. But the peoples, who were encountered such problems, knows well that how difficult is to be living with such conditions. However, I wondered about that they still suffer all such distress very well. But sometimes another problem may also come into light, when they want to go throughout for amusements and their relaxation, and that time didn't able to finds out the proper Transits services in accordance with their perception and soundness, as well. That is the major interruption between acquiring the suitable and appropriate vehicles, which will provides every necessity to the physically challenged persons and assists them oneself.

But there was a great news for all of them, who becomes distracts from such actualities and that news is, the US Government has regulated an act in 2005 relating to the well-being of disable and handicapped persons to provide them suitable and well equipped transportation resources for their easiness and to combat such problems that are appears before.

Under this act, US Government suggested that they will transact the transportation for such handicapped persons even during non-emergency situations and also promote the various transportation agencies to offers such types of services for the welfare of nation. It also provides various benefits to such agencies for participating into these transportation practices. And all these practices, known as Non-Emergency Medical Transportation [NEMT] Services.

Non-Emergency Transportation Services includes Ambulatory Services, Wheelchair services, Air Ambulance Transportation & Stretcher Transportation as well. These all services will targets the different kinds of Patients according to their disability situation and provide time to time transportation for their betterment. NEMT Usually Provides 24/7 a year non-Stop services for making available the transportation according to the need of the public and their clients as well.

Really these types of practices, wholly changes the life cycles of physically challenged persons and they can easily afford such transportation charge as compare to any other Medical transportation ride Services. Now, they haven’t to, too much worries about the transportation needs. They just have to dial a number from home and their ride shall be there, for the journey.
