Wheelchair Transportation to Mayo Clinic Jacksonville
Traveling to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville can involve early appointments, follow-up visits, rehabilitation, testing or longer treatment days. For wheelchair users and families, dependable transportation can make the entire experience easier to manage. ACCESS provides Mayo Clinic wheelchair transportation for riders who need professional, wheelchair-accessible service to and from appointments in Jacksonville.
Our team helps riders, caregivers and families coordinate transportation in advance. Private-pay service is available, and riders can remain in their wheelchair during transportation in our wheelchair-accessible vehicles.
Why Transportation Planning Matters for Mayo Clinic Appointments
Medical appointments often have specific arrival times. Transportation delays can create unnecessary stress, especially when a rider needs assistance with a wheelchair or has a long appointment ahead.
Scheduling transportation ahead of time allows the rider and family to provide pickup information, appointment time, destination details and mobility requirements. In addition, our dispatch team can review the trip details before the scheduled pickup.
ACCESS focuses on dependable scheduling, clear communication and professional transportation from pickup through drop-off.
Wheelchair-Accessible Transportation
ACCESS operates wheelchair-accessible vehicles designed for riders who remain seated in their wheelchair during transportation. Our vehicles use ramps and wheelchair securement systems to support safe transportation.
Before each trip, drivers follow established procedures for loading, wheelchair securement and passenger safety. Our goal is to make transportation comfortable and organized for riders and caregivers.
Trained and Professional ACCESS Drivers
Driver training is an important part of wheelchair transportation.
ACCESS drivers complete:
- Passenger Assistance, Safety and Sensitivity (PASS) training
- Defensive Driving training
- First Aid/CPR/AED certification
- Level 2 background screening
- Drug testing
- Motor vehicle record reviews
Drivers also wear uniforms so riders and healthcare facilities can easily identify the transportation professional providing the trip.
ACCESS monitors driver safety performance throughout the month. Drivers are expected to maintain a monthly driving score of at least 960, while drivers who achieve 1,000 or higher can earn additional paid-time-off incentives.
Our vehicles also use AI-assisted road-facing and interior video camera systems to support safety, accountability and driver coaching.

- Expected appointment location or building
- Whether the rider uses a manual or power wheelchair
- Any important mobility information
- Contact information for the rider or caregiver

Transportation for Hospital Discharges
Wheelchair transportation may also be needed when a patient is discharged from a hospital or medical facility.
Families can contact ACCESS to discuss wheelchair transportation from a medical facility to a home, rehabilitation center, assisted living community or other destination.
Whenever possible, arranging discharge transportation in advance can help reduce delays when the patient is ready to leave.
Choosing Reliable Wheelchair Transportation
When choosing transportation for an important medical appointment, riders and families should consider more than price.
Ask about:
- Driver training
- Background screening
- Commercial insurance
- Wheelchair securement procedures
- Vehicle accessibility
- Scheduling procedures
- Communication with riders and caregivers

A professional wheelchair transportation provider should be comfortable discussing these standards with riders and families.
