Overview & Reputation

Delta Medical Transportation is New Jersey's most comprehensive wheelchair transport provider, operating from Totowa in Passaic County with licensed fleet coverage across all 21 NJ counties — from Newark and Jersey City to Hoboken, Bergen, and the southern counties. For serious medical transport anywhere in the Garden State, it's the first call to make.

What sets Delta apart is the breadth of what it can handle: standard wheelchair-van trips, ambulance-based NEMT for higher-acuity needs, and 24/7 availability backed by proper licensing and insurance. The company coordinates NEMT billing with New Jersey Medicaid managed care plans, which matters for eligible riders who need covered, recurring transport.

Riders and caregivers repeatedly point to reliability over the long term — never a no-show, always on time, and drivers who treat patients with dignity through months of recurring treatment such as chemotherapy. For a statewide NJ provider that can scale from a routine appointment to a more complex medical transfer, Delta is a dependable choice.

Frequently Asked Questions — Delta Medical Transportation

For general questions about Medicaid, tax exemptions, driver certification, and door-to-door policy that apply across NY/NJ providers, see our Wheelchair Transport FAQ.

1. What's the difference between their wheelchair van and ambulance-based NEMT service?

The wheelchair van handles standard non-emergency transport with ramp/lift access. The ambulance-based option is for higher-acuity riders who need clinical-level monitoring or positioning during transport — it's quoted separately and should be requested specifically when booking.

2. Does "all 21 NJ counties" mean the same response time everywhere?

No — response time is faster near their Totowa, Passaic County base and in North/Central Jersey generally. For South Jersey pickups, confirm current availability and expect a longer advance-booking window.

3. How do NYC trips work from a New Jersey-based company?

Trips into NYC are possible but add bridge/tunnel tolls and cross-river travel time — request an all-in quote that states whether tolls are included.
