Origin Story

Built by a son who couldn't be there.

Every policy, protocol, and partnership traces back to a missed appointment in Columbus, Ohio.

The Moment2017

The appointment Mom missed that changed everything.

Marcus Webb's mother had a cardiology follow-up on a Tuesday in October. He was in Denver. She was in Columbus. The cab didn't show. The neighbor forgot. Mom stayed home. Six weeks later, her undetected arrhythmia landed her in the ER. "There was a ride that should have existed," Marcus said. "I decided to build it."

One minivan. Twelve clients. Zero missed appointments.

The first Ride vehicle was a 2016 Honda Odyssey, wheelchair-accessible ramp installed by hand. Marcus drove it himself for four months — learning every cardiology clinic, dialysis center, and church parking lot in a 30-mile radius. Twelve clients. Zero missed appointments.

Hospital discharge nurse reviewing paperwork with elderly patient and transport driver
Hospital Partnership2020

OhioHealth discharge nurses started calling before the paperwork was signed.

Word traveled fast in hospital social work departments. Discharge nurses needed to know a ride was confirmed before they could release a patient. Ride became the answer. Our first hospital partnership — OhioHealth Riverside — formalized what had already been happening informally for eight months.

Safety Protocol2021

The oxygen tank that wasn't secured. The protocol that came after.

A rider's portable oxygen concentrator slid during braking. Nobody was hurt, but Marcus pulled every driver off the road for a full day. What came out of it: a 14-point pre-ride checklist, mandatory oxygen equipment certification, and a no-exceptions policy on medical device securing. It's now part of every new driver's 40-hour onboarding.

12 questions every family should ask

How to Evaluate a Senior Transport Provider

Most families book a transport provider the same way they'd book a cab — without asking about driver training, equipment protocols, or what happens if the driver is late. This checklist changes that.

  • Are drivers certified in wheelchair transfers?
  • What's the oxygen equipment protocol?
  • How do you handle no-shows?
  • Is the vehicle NHTSA-compliant?
