Wheelchair Accessible Transportation Phoenix AZ
Finding reliable transportation that accommodates your special needs isn’t always easy. Fortunately, in Phoenix, it can be, with our help. All Valley Transportation is now pleased to offer specialized wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) services, so you can travel without ever leaving your wheelchair.
Below, we’ll provide more information about our wheelchair transportation services, including the benefits and the features of our vehicles. And remember, if you need a wheelchair-accessible ride, please call us at (602) 302-6868. We’d love to hear from you!
7 Benefits of Using Our Wheelchair Transportation Services:
There are numerous benefits to using a limousine service for wheelchair-accessible transportation, and we’ll start by covering seven of them here:
1. Accessibility and Independence
It’s important to us to preserve your independence and comfort. Booking a wheelchair-accessible van with All Valley Transportation enables passengers to remain in their own wheelchairs throughout the trip, eliminating the need for transfers to a seat.
2. Comfort and Convenience
Our wheelchair-accessible vans are designed with spacious interiors to accommodate a wheelchair passenger, plus an accompanying family member or aide.
The cabins of all of our wheelchair vans are climate-controlled, keeping passengers comfortable while combating the scorching Arizona heat!
3. Flexibility
Wheelchair accessible transportation can be arranged for a wide range of purposes, including rides for daily errands, appointments, special occasions, and more. These services are suitable for both short trips around town and longer-distance travel. If a wheelchair passenger needs to travel with a larger group, we can coordinate additional standard vehicles such as sedans, SUVs, or shuttle vans.

4. Safety and Security
Our vehicles are equipped with proper wheelchair tie-downs and securement systems that lock the wheelchair in place, preventing any movement while the van is in motion.
Other features of our wheelchair accessible vans include low-floor designs and non-slip surfaces, which help reduce the risk of falls or accidents during boarding and travel.
5. Compliance with Regulations
All vehicles are equipped and maintained to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for wheelchair accessibility.
We follow these regulations strictly, meaning you’ll receive service that meets national safety and accessibility standards.
6. Can Be Cost-Effective
Purchasing a specialized wheelchair-accessible van can be extremely expensive, often nearing $100,000. Instead of buying and maintaining your own accessible van, using our WAV services means you pay only when you need a ride.
7. Promotes Social Inclusion
Accessible transportation helps integrate wheelchair users into various activities that might have been previously difficult to participate in.
Wheelchair users should be able to participate in outings, events, and everyday life just like anyone else, and WAV services are one way to help them do this.
My driver did extra things for me, such as rolling in my trash bins and picking up my mail, since I have Guillain-Barré syndrome and am currently in a wheelchair. Easy to book a reservation when you call, and they have been able to accommodate me on short notice. I’ve used three other transportation companies, and none of them compares to All Valley Transportation. I highly recommend them for your transportation needs.”

8 Common Uses for Wheelchair Transportation
Wheelchair transportation services like ours are utilized in many situations beyond daily commuting.
Here are some common uses and scenarios for All Valley Transportation’s Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV):
1. Personal and Daily WAV Transportation
We offer daily transportation for wheelchair users, helping you get to work, school, appointments, errands, or social visits with ease. Instead of depending on public transit schedules or asking family for rides, you can schedule transportation that fits your routine.
2. Paratransit Services Alternative
While paratransit offers limited coverage, AVT’s on-demand wheelchair transportation delivers a more flexible alternative.
We offer private, door-to-door service on your schedule—anywhere within our service area—without the long wait times.
3. WAV Airport Transportation
Our WAVs can accommodate passengers who cannot transfer to a standard car seat, ensuring they travel comfortably to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport or other local airports.
We offer curbside drop-off and meet-and-greet pickup options. For arrivals, a driver can meet the passenger inside, assist with luggage, and help them from baggage claim to the vehicle.
4. Senior Centers and Community Programs
Many seniors or people with disabilities rely on accessible rides to participate in community life. We partner with senior centers, adult day programs, and community organizations to transport their members to events, group outings, grocery stores, or recreational activities.
5. Special Events and Entertainment
Concerts, sports games, weddings, family reunions, and other special events are much easier to attend with a dedicated wheelchair transportation service. Rather than worrying about venue accessibility or long distances from parking, we can get you right to the event’s entrance.
6. Churches, Clubs, and Recreation Centers
We provide transportation to religious services, club meetings, community gatherings, and group outings, ensuring all members can attend. A wheelchair-accessible van is one way to make sure everyone is included in these social and spiritual activities.
Our drivers are experienced in event transportation and will coordinate pickup and drop-off logistics to ensure a seamless experience for you.
7. Specialized ADA Compliant School Transportation
Our wheelchair-accessible vans ensure students who use wheelchairs can get to and from school safely each day.
We also handle transportation for educational field trips and after-school programs, providing students and parents with peace of mind that travel is safe and inclusive.
8. Veteran Wheelchair Transportation Assistance
Disabled veterans and former service members often require transportation to VA hospitals, veterans’ events, or community outings. All Valley Transportation is proud to serve our veterans by providing wheelchair accessible rides to medical appointments, VA facilities, grocery trips, or social events.
