SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 4, 2026--

As of January 2026, SafeRide Health, a leading provider of technology-enabled non-emergency medical transportation services, is projected to deliver more than 1 million patient rides per month. Since it was founded in 2016, SafeRide has expanded across the United States to provide safe, reliable transportation services to Medicaid and Medicare Advantage patients, keeping members more reliably connected to care while expanding technology support and real-time visibility to health plans.

“SafeRide solves a foundational challenge to ensure patients can access life-sustaining care,” said Robbins Schrader, CEO and Co-Founder of SafeRide Health. “Reaching more than one million rides in a single month reflects the trust our partners place in us as we work together to make healthcare access possible every day.”

SafeRide’s technology allows patients or their caregivers to easily schedule necessary rides to services like dialysis, chemotherapy, and ongoing critical medical treatments. SafeRide leverages a national network spanning medical transportation, rideshare and public transit to deliver an industry-leading 99%+ ride fulfillment and 97%+ on-time performance rate, and a 4.8/5 average ride rating.

Meanwhile, as Medicaid and Medicare Advantage budgets tighten, SafeRide partners closely with health plans to ensure program integrity, minimizing waste and reducing delivery cost to ensure limited funds best serve the community. SafeRide runs 100% automated eligibility and compliance checks, routes 95% of rides via algorithms, and delivers 90% touchless billing to reduce program costs with health plans across the country.

“We started SafeRide to challenge the status quo of NEMT that wasted dollars and overlooked members, and we scaled quickly to deliver a new model at the national level,” Robbins said. “This latest milestone reflects SafeRide’s unwavering focus on member experience and strong governance — priorities that have fueled our growth since day one. I’m incredibly proud of our team.”

Now celebrating its 10-year anniversary, SafeRide has been profitable since 2024 and experienced 1,000%+ revenue growth in the past 5 years. The organization has garnered industry recognition from Deloitte and Inc. 5000 for its sustained growth, as well as employer awards for its commitment to cultivating a leading, mission-driven working environment.
