Transportation Services

RISE recognizes that transportation is a vital part of our mission to support community inclusion, self-sufficiency, and individual choices. To better serve that mission, we maintain a fleet of vehicles to meet the unique needs of those we serve, each driven by a trained, dedicated professional. Our drivers not only care about the safety of their passengers, they are fully invested in the RISE mission of service.

Transportation Support

We are a contracted provider for the Department of Mental Health and abide by all Missouri Department Of Transportation requirements regarding the transportation of individuals with disabilities.

Each driver undergoes a thorough background check, is trained according to exacting federal standards, and is continually monitored to ensure the safety and health of those we serve. This also includes regular CPR training, first aid, and instruction on proper lifting techniques.

All drivers are screened for alcohol and drug use.

Transportation funding is available through a Department of Mental Health waiver or the RISE Transportation fund.
