The Problem We Solve
Why Seniors in Hampton Roads
Need Specialized Transportation
Hampton Roads seniors face unique challenges: heavy traffic on I-64 and I-264, limited public transit options for those with mobility needs, and the stress of navigating medical facilities alone. Traditional rideshares and taxis fall short — they lack wheelchair ramps, trained assistance, and the compassionate care that seniors deserve.
“Getting to a medical appointment shouldn’t be this hard. We built On Time NEMT because it was — and it didn’t have to be.”
On Time NEMT fills that gap with premium elderly transportation services in Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach. Our service is 100% private-pay, allowing us to focus entirely on your comfort and schedule without overbooking or rushing. No government program restrictions. No eligibility hurdles. Just a phone call and a ride.

Clean, climate-controlled vehicles. Cold water on hot days. Umbrella in the rain. We treat every senior like a guest, not cargo.

Regional medical centers, specialty hospitals, out-of-area oncologists — we go where public transit and I-RIDE simply cannot.
No app required. Call 1-757-440-3015 and speak with a real person who will schedule your ride immediately.
The Experience
Not Just a Ride.
An Experience.
Most elderly transportation feels clinical — a van shows up, you get in, you get out. Done.
We believe seniors deserve better. At On Time NEMT, the experience is closer to what you’d expect from a personal chauffeur service. You are our guest.
Our founders built this company because they saw how poorly seniors were being treated by existing options — late pickups, rushed service, no personal touch. That stops here.
Every decision we make comes back to one question: Would we want this for our own parents? If the answer isn’t yes, we don’t do it.
Cold Water on a Hot Day
A chilled bottle of water waiting when you board — because we thought ahead so you don’t have to.
Umbrella & Arm in the Rain
Your driver has a large umbrella and will walk you safely inside when it’s raining. We see the whole journey.
Sanitized Between Every Ride
Every vehicle is thoroughly cleaned between passengers. You ride in a clean, fresh environment — always.
We Never Overbook
Unlike public transit and shared rides, your driver is dedicated to you. No waiting behind other passengers.

What Families Need to Know
What Is Elderly Transportation Service?
Elderly transportation services refer to scheduled, assisted transportation for seniors who can no longer safely drive themselves or reliably access public transit. In Hampton Roads, Virginia, this is a growing need — the region’s senior population across Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach is expanding rapidly, and existing public options have significant restrictions that leave many elderly residents without dependable transport.
Private Pay vs. Government-Funded Elderly Transportation in Hampton Roads
Two government-funded options exist locally: I-RIDE (operated by Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia) serves residents aged 60+ during weekday hours only, within a ~30-minute travel radius. HRT Paratransit requires formal ADA disability certification and operates only within fixed Hampton Roads Transit service corridors. On Time NEMT is a private-pay alternative — no age requirement, no application, no eligibility form, available 7 days a week, and capable of trips up to 240 miles. For families who need something the government programs can’t provide, On Time NEMT is the answer.
How to Arrange Elderly Transportation in Chesapeake, Norfolk, or Virginia Beach
Arranging a ride with On Time NEMT takes less than two minutes. Call 1-757-440-3015 or visit our contact page. Family members can book on behalf of their loved one. We recommend 24–48 hours advance notice for scheduled appointments, though same-day service is often available. Let us know if a wheelchair-accessible van is needed when booking.
