Shuttle buses for NEMT & medical transport
Hundreds of lift cycles a month, constant securement changes, drivers who rotate. We spec NEMT vehicles for the duty cycle first and the price second — and we'll say which used units make sense for a fleet and which don't.
The NEMT lineup
Full-size lift van (Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, Chevrolet Express)
The workhorse: raised roof, rear or side platform lift, two to four wheelchair stations plus ambulatory seats, commercial securement systems, floors that clean. New Transit-based units with two stations run $85,000–$105,000 as of September 2026; pre-owned units from about $50,000. Rear-ramp minivans and stretcher/gurney conversions are on our wheelchair vans page.
12+2 cutaway bus
When a route carries a dialysis group or an adult-day run, a 22–25 foot cutaway with 12–13 seats plus 2 wheelchair stations (flip seats) and a lift replaces two vans and one driver. Non-CDL. $125,000–$145,000 new; pre-owned from about $50,000.
Gurney and combination layouts
Stretcher-capable vans and wheelchair-plus-gurney combinations for operators who hold the contracts that require them. Quoted to spec.
What brokers and Medicaid programs will ask you for
Every state's program and every broker sets its own vehicle standards — inspection, lift certification, securement type, age or mileage caps, driver training. We can't tell you what your contract requires, but we keep the conversion certification, FMVSS 403/404 lift labels and the securement documentation on file for every vehicle we sell, so when the broker's compliance team asks, you have it. If the vehicle will operate in service covered by the ADA's transportation regulations, we'll spec it to 49 CFR Part 38 — here is what that means.
Financing that matches how you're paid
Operators paid on broker and Medicaid cycles usually want a lease or a term loan with a payment that fits the cash flow, not a big check. We arrange commercial financing and leasing on new and pre-owned units, including for newer operators with a contract in hand. Bring recent financials and the contract and we'll structure a proposal. Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply to commercial vehicles — ask your accountant.
Used, honestly
A used NEMT van's value is in its lift and securements, not its odometer. On every pre-owned unit we check lift cycles where the controller records them, corrosion at the lift door and floor pan, door seals, securement hardware and labels, then chassis basics and a history report. The notes go to you.
Common questions
Do you sell to new NEMT operators?
Yes. If you have a broker contract or a signed provider agreement, financing is usually possible. Talk to us before you buy the wrong vehicle to win the contract.
Rear lift or side lift?
Rear lifts are less expensive and keep the side door standard, but load in traffic. Side (curbside) lifts load at the curb and cost more. Most NEMT vans use rear lifts; most buses use curbside.
Can you deliver several identical vans?
Yes — a standard unit, priced as a multi-unit order, with staggered deliveries.
Do you take trade-ins from fleets?
Yes, including vans and buses coming off contracts or leases. Call before you send them to auction.
