When it comes to transportation for seniors, individuals with disabilities, or those undergoing medical treatments, the ride itself is only part of the journey. What truly matters is how a person is treated from the moment they leave their door to the moment they arrive safely at their destination.
At UDO Transport, we believe that every trip should be more than just a ride. It should be an experience rooted in compassion, safety, dignity, and comfort. That belief drives everything we do—from our vehicle design to the training of our drivers, and the way we care for every rider in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and surrounding North Carolina areas.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through what makes UDO’s door-to-destination service so different, and how we consistently go above and beyond for the people and families who trust us.
From Door-to-Door, Not Curb-to-Curb
Unlike standard taxis, public buses, or rideshare services, UDO Transport provides true door-to-door assistance. That means:
- We don’t wait outside or honk from the street
- Our drivers assist you from your front door, helping you navigate steps, ramps, or elevators
- We carry bags or medical items as needed
- We escort you into your clinic, therapy center, or medical office when requested
For seniors or riders with mobility issues, this small detail can make a life-changing difference.
Trained Drivers with Heart
Our drivers aren’t just drivers—they’re trained professionals who care deeply about the people they serve. Each UDO team member is trained in:
- CPR and First Aid
- Passenger Assistance Safety and Sensitivity (PASS)
- Wheelchair securement and mobility handling
- HIPAA compliance and patient confidentiality
- Compassionate care and communication
Whether helping an elderly client with limited vision, a dialysis patient feeling weak, or someone recovering from surgery, our drivers are patient, supportive, and calm under pressure.
Accessible, Comfortable Vehicles
Our fleet is fully ADA-compliant and built for accessibility and comfort. Each vehicle includes:
- Wheelchair lifts and ramps
- Secure tie-down systems for mobility devices
- Low step entry for walkers or canes
- Climate-controlled interiors for all-season comfort
- Spacious design for family members or caregivers to ride along
We also sanitize our vehicles regularly to ensure a clean, safe environment for medically vulnerable riders.
On-Time, Every Time
We know how important medical appointments are—especially for services like dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, or post-operative care. That’s why we take timing seriously:
- Appointments are scheduled in advance
- Drivers arrive early and wait patiently
- We track traffic and adjust routes to ensure timely arrival
- Return trips are scheduled to match your treatment or visit duration
With UDO, you don’t have to worry about being late or stranded—ever.

Personalized Attention
No two riders are alike, and we treat every client as an individual. Our dispatch and driver team works closely with you to understand:
- Your mobility needs (wheelchair, walker, cane, oxygen tank, etc.)
- Any support required getting in/out of buildings or vehicles
- Sensory needs or cognitive considerations (for riders with dementia, autism, etc.)
- Preferred pickup locations and family coordination if needed
We treat you or your loved one the way we’d treat our own family.
