Community Options, Inc. is a certified provider of transportation services for individuals not only to and from work but also to and from medical appointments, activities, grocery and other locations. We are committed to providing transportation in order to serve each individual in a manner that increases mobility, comfort and safety.
Who drives the vehicles?
Staff drive the vehicles following completion of lift van or other specialized vehicle training. All staff go through a stringent employment screening process including but not limited to criminal background checks, preemployment and random drug testing, and training in CPR and First Aid. Each staff person is required to meet state rules and regulations to ensure individual safety.
Are all the vehicles safe?
Yes. The State of Ohio mandates vehicle safety checks completed by professional mechanics. In addition, our agency performs daily vehicle checks, as well as, weekly checks. All vehicles are maintained on a routine basis
If I attend a different work site or adult services program, can I still have your agency provide my transportation?
Yes. At your request the adult services provider or County Board contacts Community Options to contact and arranges for transportation. However, keep in mind that it is not always possible to accommodate a single individual if the person has a long distance to a work site or has needs for which we are not equipped. This, like other services, is individualized and we try our best to make it the most comprehensive to meet your needs.
