Wingz
Wingz is a healthcare-focused rideshare platform built specifically for Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT). It connects credentialed, background-checked drivers with patients - often elderly, disabled, or low-income riders - who need reliable, scheduled rides to and from medical appointments. Originally launched in 2011 as Tickengo (the first company in the world to win a ride-sharing license, ahead of Uber and Lyft), Wingz pivoted to specialize in medical transport: HIPAA-trained drivers, transparent contracted pricing with no surge, recurring 'standing order' trips, and curb-to-curb, door-to-door, and hand-to-hand service levels. The company partners with NEMT brokers, Medicaid/Medicare payors, and health plans, and has delivered over one million rides across multiple U.S. states.
SafeRide Health
SafeRide Health is a technology and services company rebuilding non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) for Medicaid and Medicare Advantage populations.

The company now delivers more than one million rides per month across all 50 states and has been profitable since 2024.
