Emergency Accessible Rides
Serving Berkeley Residents
With Emergency Rides users can receive emergency transportation services with little/no notice. If your wheelchair breaks down, you have a last-minute medical appointment, or you need to get to the store to pick up urgently needed medication, Easy Does It is available when no other accessible transportation options are available.
Immediate Service
If you require urgent Emergency transportation, there's no need to schedule in advance. We can dispatch a Driver and Accessible Van to you in 45 minutes or less.
Fully Accessible Vehicles
All our vans are fully accessible, featuring power lifts and appropriate safety harnesses and tie-downs to keep you safe during transport.
Vouchers Not Accepted
If you request Emergency Transportation, we are unable to accept BRSD Vouchers, schedule 24 hours in advance and save.
Pricing for Emergency Accessible Rides
Unlike our Scheduled Accessible Rides, we cannot accept Ride Vouchers as a form of payment. Co-Payments are based on how far you travel.
