Ride N Safe Medical Transport, LLC

Growing Quickly to Meet the Needs of North Central Texas

Ride N Safe Medical Transport, L.L.C., or Ride N Safe, was founded in 2007 by Wes Mourer and Cliff Montemayor in Granbury, Texas. As the founders, and working paramedics, of Granbury/Hood County EMS, they personally encountered the transportation challenges of local residents navigating "to and from" healthcare services locally and in the Fort Worth area.  

Manning a ground ambulance, they quickly recognized the need for a viable and affordable transportation option for those needing non-emergency medical transportation. Since the beginning, Ride N Safe has transported people of all ages who are bed-ridden, confined to a wheelchair, and/or recovering from major surgery, life-altering injuries, and chronic illnesses – whenever and wherever they might need to go.

Due to growing demand, Ride N Safe Medical Transport quickly expanded from a local operation in Granbury and Hood County, on an “as-needed" basis, to providing non-emergency medical transportation 24 hours/day, 7 days/week, 365 days/year in Ft. Worth’s medical district and Hood, Parker, and Somervell counties.

In 2010, a second station opened in Cleburne, and in 2014, a merger with Fort Worth’s A.C.E. Non-Emergency Transport added a third station in North Richland Hills. The acquisition of A.C.E. expanded Ride N Safe’s service area to include all of Tarrant County as well as surrounding counties on the western side of the DFW Metroplex (Erath, Hood, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Parker & Somervell).

In 2016, Ride N Safe moved to a much larger station in Fort Worth and began growing its 12-van fleet to meet increasing demand. At the same time, fleet maintenance was brought in-house for preventive service and repairs.

By the end of 2020, Ride N Safe had 29 vans in its fleet. Ride N' Safe also proudly, and according to CDC guidelines, completed over 1,000 COVID-related transports - positive patients and  Persons Under Investigation (PUI). Drivers were already versed in infection control protocols but received additional training, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), sanitizing supplies, and were COVID-19 screened daily. 

June 2020, Ride N Safe opened a branch office in Waco. Initially, the office started with one van. By December, the Waco fleet had already grown to four vans and one COVID-dedicated van.

December 2020, Ride N Safe opened a branch office in Denton. For now, there are two vans dedicated to its newest Service Area.
