Onward is NOT an on-demand rideshare service.

How is this different than other rideshare services?

  • Onward is different in two distinct ways. First, our rides are scheduled and you get paid per trip, not by the hour. This allows you to plan around your schedule and drive when it works best for you.
  • Second, our passengers are seniors or those who need a little extra help. This may include things like getting in and out of the car, or waiting for them while they run an errand.

About us: Onward Health is a health-system-ready transportation management solution that removes headaches for healthcare workers and transportation barriers to care for patients. By simplifying the experience of aligning transportation resources, ordering and managing transport, Onward creates seamless experiences for all. Drawing from nearly two decades of healthcare transportation experience operating its sister company Royal Ambulance, Onward’s team leverages tactical knowledge of the Healthcare Transportation Industry to shape its vision and offering. The high touch and high tech approach to transportation coordination saves staff time, reduces hospital length of stay and prevents missed appointments. Further, our signature service “Companion Rides” and patients’ ability to self schedule, helps to reduce avoidable hospitalizations and ER visits.
