Safe Start Transport: Your Reliable Partner for Non-Emergency Medical Rides in Meridian and Beyond
When it comes to getting to important medical appointments, dependability matters. That’s why Safe Start Transport is committed to offering safe, on-time, and compassionate non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for patients in Meridian and within a 50-mile radius. Whether it’s a visit to the doctor, clinic, or a physical therapy session, Safe Start ensures you get there — safely and stress-free.
In many communities, especially for seniors, patients with chronic conditions, or those recovering from surgery, getting to and from medical appointments can be a challenge. Public transportation is not always an option, and family members may not always be available. That’s where Safe Start Transport steps in.
We recognize the crucial need for reliable transportation that puts the health and safety of the patient first. Our services bridge the gap for those who might otherwise miss important check-ups or treatments — which could lead to worsening health outcomes.
Headquartered in Meridian, ID, Safe Start Transport proudly serves clients within a 50-mile radius, covering neighboring towns and rural areas that often lack dependable ride options. Whether you’re in Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna, Eagle, or nearby, we’ve got you covered.
We provide door-to-door service, meaning our drivers will assist you from your home to the vehicle, and ensure you’re safely dropped off at the front entrance of your medical facility — and back home again. No complicated bus schedules or long walks through parking lots.
Our focus is strictly on non-emergency medical rides, which include but are not limited to:
Doctor’s appointments
Clinic visits
Dialysis appointments
Physical therapy sessions
Occupational therapy
Routine check-ups
Specialist consultations
We understand the specific needs of patients who may have mobility limitations or require extra care during transport. Our vehicles are kept clean, well-maintained, and comfortable to accommodate a wide range of client needs.
At Safe Start Transport, safety starts with people. All of our drivers are:
Background-checked

We prioritize kindness, respect, and patience, especially for our elderly clients and those with disabilities or health conditions.
Safe Start Transport accepts a variety of payment options, and in many cases, our services may be covered by Medicaid or other insurance programs. We also offer private-pay rates for individuals or families needing one-time or ongoing transport assistance.
