A City on the Move — For Everyone
Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati are known for their energy — from bustling riverfront events to sports games, concerts, and neighborhood gatherings. But for many residents living with disabilities, simply getting from point A to point B can be a daily challenge.
Accessibility isn’t just about ramps and elevators; it’s about freedom, dignity, and independence. Reliable, safe, and caring transportation is what connects people with their families, healthcare providers, workplaces, and communities.
That’s where RIDE A WAV CINCY steps in — bringing compassion and convenience together on wheels.
The Growing Need for Accessible Transportation
According to recent data, many adults in Kentucky and Ohio live with some form of disability. Many rely on wheelchairs, walkers, or scooters, and often find public transportation options limited or inconsistent.
For seniors, individuals recovering from surgery, or those with mobility impairments, the need for specialized, ADA-compliant vehicles is not optional — it’s essential.
RIDE A WAV CINCY recognized this gap and made it our mission to move people forward — literally and emotionally. We believe everyone deserves access to safe, comfortable, and affordable rides, whether it’s to a doctor’s appointment, a family celebration, or a fun night out downtown.
What Makes a Ride “Accessible”?
Accessibility goes beyond just having a ramp. A true accessible transport service focuses on the entire journey experience — from the moment a ride is booked to the time the passenger is safely back home.
Here’s what makes our transportation truly accessible for everyone:
1. ADA-Compliant Vehicles
Ride A WAV Cincy operates a fleet of wheelchair-accessible vans, including WAV MINIVAN, WAV Transit 350 and WAV buse that can fit multiple wheelchairs at once. Each vehicle is equipped with secure tie-down systems, ramps or lifts, and extra space for caregivers or family members.
2. Door-Through-Door Assistance
Unlike traditional rideshare or taxi services, our trained drivers go the extra mile — literally and figuratively. They assist passengers from their door to the vehicle and ensure they reach their destination safely, whether that means helping into a clinic, home, or event venue.
3. Clean, Sanitized, and Comfortable Rides
Every vehicle is PermaSafe-treated and maintained to hospital-grade cleanliness. Our clients often tell us how refreshing it feels to ride in a van that smells clean, looks spotless, and feels safe.
4. Trained and Compassionate Drivers
Our drivers aren’t just licensed — Each team member receives training in wheelchair securement, passenger safety, and customer care. They treat every rider like family, not a fare.

The Impact: Restoring Confidence and Connection
Every ride tells a story.
One client recently shared how Ride A WAV helped her aunt
"Everything was great. It was a complicated transport situation but RIDE A WAV CINCY managed it all, getting my wheelchair-bound Aunt everywhere she needed to be. Thanks for the great service!" Mary
Moments like these are the reason we do what we do. They remind us that transportation is more than logistics — it’s connection, dignity, and freedom.
