  • Clear handoff at pickup and drop-off

Sedans for contracted trips

R & M Rides drivers complete contracted trips in personal vehicles and sedans. These vehicles are dedicated to our MassHealth and Human Service Transportation work — we do not mix open public rides on the same fleet because of contract and insurance requirements.

  • Sedans for HST assignments
  • State safety trained drivers
  • Thorough background checks
