How it works
Tell us the appointment time. We arrange the rest.
You give us the pickup, the destination and the time you need to be there. We arrange an accessible van that fits your chair and confirm it.
Book online, in the app or by phone
Enter the trip, the time and the mobility device. Add a return ride or several dates in the same booking.
We arrange and confirm the van
We match the trip to a wheelchair accessible van with a ramp or a lift, and confirm your pickup time.
Ride in your own chair
No transfer to a car seat. Your driver picks you up at the door and takes you door to door.
Why riders choose BriteLift
Book a time, not a window.
Your ride is yours alone
No other passengers are picked up along the way, so you choose the pickup time. That matters when a dialysis chair time or a surgery check-in won't move.
No eligibility screening
No authorization step, and the trip doesn't have to be medical. A family event counts the same as a clinic visit.
Bring someone along
A family member or caregiver rides with you at no additional cost.

Before you book
Questions people ask.
How much does a wheelchair accessible ride in Milwaukee cost?
Most one-way rides around Milwaukee fall between $100 and $150, and a round trip is roughly $200 to $250. Distance matters most, along with the vehicle and whether the van waits for you. The booking form shows the price for your trip before you book. See the full cost guide.
Will I share the van with other riders?
No. Each ride is your own, with no other passengers picked up along the way. That is why you can choose your pickup time instead of waiting inside a window.
Do riders need to transfer out of their wheelchair?
No. You ride in your own wheelchair, scooter or power chair. Boarding is by ramp or lift, and the service is door to door.
Can a family member or caregiver ride along?
Yes, at no additional cost. Add them when you book.
Can I book a round trip, or several dates at once?
Yes to both. The return leg goes in the same booking, and you can add several dates at once for a series of appointments, such as dialysis three times a week. If an appointment runs long, call 414-716-1212 about the return ride.
Do I need to book in advance?
Booking a day or more ahead gives you the widest choice of times. For a ride today, call 414-716-1212 and we will tell you what is available.
What areas do you serve?
Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha and Walworth counties, including Wauwatosa, West Allis, Brookfield, Greenfield, Oak Creek and Franklin. Every community we cover.
How is BriteLift different from Medicaid rides or paratransit?
There is no eligibility screening and no authorization step, and the trip does not have to be medical. You choose the pickup time and the ride is yours alone. The tradeoff is that you pay for the ride yourself, so if you have a covered Medicaid ride or paratransit and the timing works, use that first. How the Milwaukee options compare.
