NEMT & Transportation for Human Services: Routes, Trips, and Audits

Transportation is where schedules, authorizations, and reality collide. Here’s how to run vans and trips as part of your CareOps platform, not a separate black box.

Model transport like a first-class service

• Trip = member(s) + purpose (day, employment, appointment) + locations.
• Route = sequence of trips + driver + vehicle.
• Evidence = timestamps + exceptions + notes.

Scheduling that fits programs

• Build routes from program schedules (not ad-hoc texts).
• Show van capacity and driver qualifications.
• Handle no-shows, delays, and reroutes gracefully.

Data you’ll need for audits

• Trip start/stop with who, when, where.
• Link to authorized service (e.g., day hab attendance).
• Exceptions with documented reasons and approvals.

KPIs that matter

• On-time performance by site/route.
• Cost per trip and utilization.
• Impact on program attendance and staff overtime.
