Accessible Adventures Are Better Together
One thing we've learned over the years is that our clients don't just want transportation—they want the freedom to enjoy life.
We've helped grandparents attend family festivals, taken groups from senior communities to summer concerts, and driven families to Reds games where everyone could cheer together. We've even stayed nearby during special events so our clients never had to worry about finding a ride home.
Whether you're heading to a festival, outdoor concert, museum, or community celebration, our goal is simple: to help you spend less time worrying about transportation and more time enjoying the people and places you love.
At Ride A WAV Cincy, we believe every event should be accessible, every family should be able to celebrate together, and every summer memory should include everyone.
Let us take care of the ride—so you can focus on making memories.
Planning a Group Outing?
Many people don't realize our accessible bus is perfect for group events.
Whether you're organizing a senior living community outing, church group, disability organization, family reunion, or birthday celebration, we can travel together.
Our accessible bus comfortably accommodates:
Up to 4 wheelchairs
Additional 8 ambulatory passengers
Family members and caregivers are always welcome to ride together.
Traveling together means everyone arrives at the same time, enjoys the day together, and heads home together.
This Summer, Say "Yes" to More Adventures
Life is full of moments worth celebrating.
Maybe it's your first Reds game of the season.
Maybe it's introducing your grandchildren to Goettafest.
Or maybe it's simply enjoying live music on a warm July evening.

Because accessible transportation isn't just about getting somewhere.
It's about making sure everyone has the opportunity to laugh, celebrate, explore, and create memories with the people they love.
