Travel and transport services provide essential assistance to individuals in planning and accessing transportation options for various purposes, including commuting, leisure travel, medical appointments, and social outings. These services aim to enhance mobility, independence, and accessibility for people with diverse needs and preferences.

This includes arranging door-to-door transport, assistance with boarding and disembarking, and ensuring safety and comfort during the journey.
Additionally, travel and transport services may offer support with trip planning, route mapping, scheduling appointments, and arranging accommodations to meet the specific needs of travelers. This can include assistance with booking accessible accommodations, arranging travel companions or caregivers, and providing information on accessible attractions and amenities at the destination.
