Paratransit & Non-Profit Fleets

CloudCam IQ for ADA, human services & community transport

Protect riders and drivers, document assistance and on-time performance, and show funders and regulators that you run a safe, accountable service—not just a set of vehicles.

Why demand-response & ADA service is so sensitive

You’re not just moving people from A to B—you’re providing access to medical care, work, and daily life for riders who may depend on you completely.

Rider vulnerability

Mobility, vision, cognitive & sensory needs

Riders may use mobility devices, travel with attendants, or need extra time and communication at each stop. Incidents hit trust and can escalate quickly.

Service promises

Eligibility, coverage & on-time performance

Many services operate under ADA complementary paratransit rules or grant contracts that specify service areas, hours, response times and fare limits. You need data to show you’re meeting them.

Multiple stakeholders

Agencies, funders, riders & families

When something goes wrong, you may answer to riders, caregivers, boards, transit agencies and oversight bodies. Video and telematics keep everyone on the same page.

Safety, dignity & documentation—on every trip

CloudCam IQ helps you support safe boarding, securement and driving while giving dispatch and management visibility into schedule performance and rider experience.

Boarding & securement

Getting riders on and off safely

Many incidents happen at the curb or lift, not on the highway. You need to know if policies were followed and riders were assisted appropriately.

  • Cameras covering doors, lifts and securement areas.
  • Footage to review tie-down use, belts and mobility device placement.
  • Clips for training new drivers on safe, respectful assistance.
On-route driving

Defensive driving with precious cargo

Paratransit vehicles share roads with everyone else, but passengers may be more vulnerable to harsh maneuvers or collisions.

  • AI events for harsh stops, sharp turns and speeding.
  • Forward-facing video for crashes and complaint investigation.
  • Driver scorecards to support coaching and recognition, not just discipline.
Service reliability

On-time performance and no-shows

Riders and families need to know that vehicles arrive when promised. Agencies and funders want proof that you’re honoring service commitments.

  • GPS history to verify arrival times, dwell times and wait periods.
  • Route replay to understand chronic delays or routing problems.
  • Data to support policy tweaks on pickup windows and scheduling.
System Overview

  • 3-year hardware warranty and optional $5/unit/month maintenance program.

Real-world paratransit & human services use cases

These are the situations that end up in board meetings, news articles or regulator emails when they’re not handled well.

Common scenarios we help you resolve

Allegations of rough handling or disrespect.
Review interior footage to see how drivers and riders actually interacted and whether staff followed your customer service expectations.
Rider reports of “they never showed up.”
Use GPS history and dwell time at the pickup point to verify whether the vehicle arrived within the window and how long it waited.
Securement or lift incidents.
Examine camera angles around the lift and tie-downs to understand whether procedures were followed and what needs to change in training.
Family complaints on social media.
Bring facts to the table—arrival times, video context and documented actions—before responding to posts that may only share one side of the story.
Serious collisions or medical events onboard.
Provide investigators with a clear, time-stamped record of what happened before, during and after the event.

How agencies & non-profits use CloudCam IQ

  • Support internal investigations and corrective action with evidence.
  • Train new drivers with clips that show “this is how we serve riders here.”
  • Report performance and safety to boards and grant funders with confidence.
  • Show regulators that you take complaints, ADA obligations and rider dignity seriously.

Many programs start with vehicles serving dialysis, day programs or out-of-town medical trips, then expand to full ADA paratransit fleets once they see the impact on service quality and trust.

Paratransit & non-profit fleet FAQ

Questions we hear from transit agencies, human services organizations and non-profit operators.

Does CloudCam IQ decide ADA eligibility or compliance?

No. Eligibility criteria and service design come from ADA rules and your policies. We help you document how service was delivered once trips are scheduled.

Can riders or families request copies of video?

That depends on your policies and local laws. We help you locate and export clips; your legal and privacy teams decide when and how they’re shared.

Will cameras make riders uncomfortable?

When explained correctly—as a tool for safety, respect and accountability for everyone—most riders and families see cameras as a layer of protection, not surveillance.

Can we limit who has access to interior video?

Yes. We can align access levels with roles so only authorized staff can review sensitive footage, with audit trails for who viewed what, and when.

Does this work with our existing scheduling/dispatch software?

We can align vehicles and trips via IDs and timestamps so your team can find relevant clips and history quickly when a rider or funder raises a concern.

What fleet size do you support?

We support programs from small non-profit fleets to larger transit agency paratransit operations. We’re happy to start with a focused pilot and grow from there.
