New NEMTAC accreditation further reinforces the company’s commitment to industry-leading standards, accountability, and partnerships across the NEMT ecosystem.
CLEVELAND, OH, UNITED STATES, August 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Provide A Ride, a transportation benefit manager and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) provider headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, announced two significant industry achievements at NEMTAC Transform 2026: earning accreditation from the Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Accreditation Commission (NEMTAC) and being named the 2026 Broker or Payer Partner of the Year for the second consecutive year.
The Broker or Payer Partner of the Year award recognizes organizations demonstrating leadership, collaboration, transparency, reliability, and a commitment to advancing the NEMT industry. Receiving the award in consecutive years reflects Provide A Ride’s continued focus on building strong relationships with health plans, transportation providers, and other partners across the healthcare transportation ecosystem.
At the same conference, Provide A Ride was formally recognized as a NEMTAC Accredited organization. Accreditation follows an independent review against established industry standards and represents Provide A Ride’s commitment to quality, safety, compliance, accountability, and continuous improvement.
“Receiving Partner of the Year for a second consecutive year is an incredible honor but pairing that recognition with NEMTAC accreditation makes this year particularly meaningful,” said Alan Groedel, President and CEO of Provide A Ride. “One recognition reflects the strength of our partnerships. The other validates the standards and accountability behind how we operate.”
The two recognitions come as expectations for NEMT organizations continue to evolve. Health plans and government partners increasingly expect greater visibility into transportation performance, stronger program integrity, reliable provider networks, and measurable accountability for the member experience.
Provide A Ride continues to invest in the people, technology, provider relationships, and operational capabilities necessary to meet those expectations while maintaining its focus on the fundamental purpose of NEMT: ensuring transportation does not become a barrier to healthcare.
“These achievements belong to far more than one organization,” Groedel added. “Our clients challenge us to continually improve, our transportation providers deliver care in communities every day, and our employees make those partnerships work. We are grateful to everyone who played a role in helping Provide A Ride earn this recognition.”
Provide A Ride received the honors during NEMTAC Transform 2026, the organization’s annual conference bringing together transportation providers, brokers, payers, technology organizations, regulators, and other stakeholders from across the NEMT industry.
