Join the SafeLift Driver Network

SafeLift is building our team of dependable NEMT drivers as we prepare to launch and expand our transportation services in Columbia, Missouri.

SafeLift drivers provide safe, reliable, and compassionate transportation for individuals traveling to and from scheduled healthcare appointments. These are non-emergency, non-medical trips, so you do not need to be an EMT or paramedic.

Who You’ll Drive

Trips may include transportation to:

  • Mental and behavioral health appointments

  • Dialysis appointments

  • Substance abuse counseling and treatment

  • Primary care and specialist appointments

  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation

  • Other scheduled healthcare appointments

Because appointments are scheduled in advance, drivers will know where and when pickups are needed, and SafeLift will provide guidance to help you successfully complete your trips.
