Join Medicare Transit Inc. as an independent contractor NEMT (Non-Emergency Medical Transportation) Driver and own your territory. We assign you routes in the zone you choose — East Bay drivers stay East Bay, SF drivers stay SF. No bridge-hopping for $9 fares.

We'll share exactly what that looks like when you reach out. This is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference in your community while building real, stable income close to home.

Maintain accurate trip logs, mileage records, and member documentation in compliance with Modivcare requirements and company policy.
