Daily transport thanks to generous supporters!

Community Entry Services' fleet of wheelchair accessible buses and vans help move clients thanks to the generous support of community foundations, businesses and individuals.

Transportation is a key service of Community Entry Services.

Something most people take for granted is a challenge for those in wheelchairs or heavy and bulky electric powered chairs that can weigh up to 300 lbs.

Normal vehicles won't work for clients who can't walk on their own so Community Entry Services runs a fleet of customized vehicles to help move our clients around town.

Customized buses with hydraulic lifts and removable seating allows staff to transport up to 4 electric mobile wheelchairs per trip along with two additional support staff.

From the start, 50 years ago, CES has strived to help adults with disabilities lead as normal a life as possible - including the ability to discretely travel around town without any fanfare or notice. Neither the vehicles, nor drivers have logos or uniforms that would draw attention to themselves. Like everyone else's personal vehicles, CES wishes our clients to enjoy the freedom to travel to and fro without fanfare or notice.

But in Riverton or Lander, you won't be far from a CES van or bus, truck or car that is used to help move your friends, neighbors and loved ones from one appointment to another.

Buses with movable seating allows greater flexibility - to transport wheelchairs or regular passengers... or both at the same time.

With any fleet comes a dedicated crew of mechanics and drivers help move clients from home to day-habilitation and on to the store, or doctors' appointments and more. Riverton Tire and Oil, Bailey's Tire and other vendors like Fast Lane have all helped CES tremendously over the years ensuring that our vehicles are always safe to drive.

Part of the code of the West might be paraphrased as "not leaving anyone behind" and CES has worked with the community to ensure that none of our clients' lives are impaired by the lack of transportation.

Staff like John Cristando and Tracy Kellogg and others work to repair, overhaul and otherwise maintain the buses, vans, trucks and cars needed for staff and clients. While they tend to be in the background, their work is essential to CES' entire operation of care for over 110 adults with disabilities in Fremont County.

Rain or shine, snow or wind, a small army of drivers and caregivers roll out each morning to shuttle dozens of clients from their homes or apartments to CES day-hab centers and other appointments. Criss crossing between Riverton and Lander regularly.

So while you may not notice them, the vehicles of CES are all around town helping our clients live with as little inconvenience as possible.

All made possible thanks to the generosity of friends, family, businesses and private foundations!
