Wheelchair Transportation in New Jersey — EWR Airport & County-by-County Guide
New Jersey residents needing wheelchair transportation have unique needs — from rides to Newark Liberty Airport to transport across Bergen, Hudson, Essex, Passaic, Union and Morris counties. This guide lists providers by county, written by a transportation industry veteran.
New Jersey residents needing wheelchair accessible transportation generally have two kinds of trips: getting to and from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and getting to medical appointments, dialysis, or therapy across the state's 21 counties. Several NJ-based companies focus specifically on the second category, and a handful of NYC-based companies also cross the river to cover parts of NJ — particularly Hudson, Bergen, and Essex counties, which are closest to NYC.
New Jersey Wheelchair & NEMT Companies
Delta Medical Transportation (deltamedicaltransportation.com), based in Totowa (Passaic County), describes coverage across all 21 New Jersey counties with both wheelchair vans and ambulance-based NEMT, available 24/7. Call (973) 389-3110.
Transit Care (transit-care.com) focuses on North Jersey — Morris, Essex, Union, and Warren counties — for wheelchair-accessible NEMT to medical appointments. Call (973) 202-0482.
MNJ Medical (mnjmedical.com) serves Bergen County and the surrounding area, with wheelchair, bariatric, and senior transport for both medical and non-medical trips.
Family Care Medical Transport (nemtfamilycare.com) covers Union, Essex, and Middlesex counties, with both ambulatory and wheelchair options, plus longer trips into New York City, Pennsylvania, and to casinos in the tri-state area.
From the NYC side, NYC Wheelchair Transportation and NYC Transportations both list New Jersey — particularly the counties closest to the city — as part of their broader coverage area, which can be useful if you're traveling between an NYC hospital and an NJ home, or vice versa.
Wheelchair Transportation to Newark Airport (EWR)
Newark Liberty International Airport is the primary airport for most NJ wheelchair users, and several of the providers above — along with NYC-based companies — offer EWR transfers. See our full Newark EWR wheelchair guide for terminal-specific details and what's handled by the airport versus what you need to book privately.
NJ Counties at a Glance
- Bergen County: MNJ Medical focuses here; NYC-based providers also reach into Bergen given its proximity to NYC.
- Hudson County: Closest to Manhattan by distance — several NYC-based providers cross into Hudson County.
- Essex County: Home to Newark and EWR; Transit Care and Family Care Medical Transport both list Essex County coverage.
- Passaic County: Home base for Delta Medical Transportation (Totowa).
- Union, Middlesex & Morris counties: Covered by Transit Care and/or Family Care Medical Transport depending on the specific town.
NJ Transit & Paratransit Options
For ADA-eligible riders who don't need a dedicated wheelchair van, NJ Transit's Access Link paratransit program provides shared-ride, curb-to-curb service for those unable to use regular fixed-route buses or trains. This can be a lower-cost option for non-time-sensitive trips, though pickup windows tend to be wider than a private van.
Frequently Asked Questions
