Transpro, Inc.

What Transpro, Inc. does

Transpro, Inc., doing business as Around the Sound, is a private, for-profit non-emergency transportation services company headquartered in Tacoma, Washington. It operates a fleet of 80+ vehicles to deliver four core service lines: medical transportation (including ambulatory, wheelchair, gurney, Dementia-Alzheimer's, VA, and COVID-19 transport), airport transportation (wheelchair-accessible pick-up and drop-off), point-to-point / long-distance transportation across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, and event transportation (weddings, sporting events). The company is differentiated by domain specialization in serving individuals with limited mobility and memory challenges, supported by trained drivers, specialized equipment, and thorough sanitization/inspection protocols.

The company's underlying operating platform is a fleet management system built around 80+ accessible vehicles with both on-site and off-site maintenance capabilities. Vehicles are configured with wheelchair lifts, scooter and gurney accommodations, and memory-care-friendly features, positioning the asset base as the core technical differentiator rather than software. Distribution is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via phone booking ((253) 858-7088) and website (atsrides.com), complemented by institutional channel partnerships with the TRPC Rural Transit program and Pierce County Beyond The Borders (BTB), plus VA service contracts. Customer-facing technology is light — no mobile app is offered and booking for government program rides runs through requestmyrides.com.

The business model is transaction-fee based on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go pricing structure with no publicly disclosed rates. Revenue streams are diversified across medical, airport, long-distance, and event transportation, with customer segments spanning individuals with limited mobility, dementia/Alzheimer's patients, airport travelers, event attendees, and government/county transportation programs. The company is BBB Accredited and states compliance with ADA and Title VI requirements. No revenue, funding, headcount, or ownership data is disclosed in the source material.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Uber Health: Rideshare-derived NEMT product that connects healthcare payers and providers to on-demand rides; competes for the ambulatory and lower-acuity wheelchair slice of Around the Sound's market with a software-first, API-driven model.
• Ride Health: Healthcare-focused NEMT coordination platform connecting hospitals, health plans, and transportation providers; addresses the same hospital discharge and medical appointment transport demand as Around the Sound but via a software-network model.
• GoGoGrandparent: Senior-focused rideshare intermediary that books Uber and Lyft on behalf of older adults; overlaps with Around the Sound's senior and limited-mobility airport/long-distance use cases but competes as a software layer rather than a fleet operator.
• SafeRide Health: Tech-enabled NEMT broker with a national network of drivers and an API for health plans; comparable because it targets the same Medicaid and managed-care NEMT spend as Around the Sound's government contracts but competes through technology and network orchestration rather than owned fleet.
• Lyft Healthcare: Lyft's healthcare-focused rideshare offering for Medicaid and Medicare Advantage members; competes on ambulatory and standard WAV transport with strong digital ordering, contrasting with Around the Sound's phone-based model.

Broad incumbents

• Modivcare: Large national NEMT broker and managed-care transportation provider; comparable because it contracts with Medicaid managed-care plans and government programs to deliver non-emergency medical rides at scale, though it operates as a broker rather than a fleet owner.
• MTM (Medical Transportation Management): Major NEMT broker serving state Medicaid programs and managed-care plans across multiple states; directly comparable to Around the Sound's TRPC and BTB-style government contracts, but operating at significantly larger scale as a broker-network model.
• Access2Care: NEMT division of a national managed-care services company providing Medicaid and Medicare NEMT across multiple states; comparable as a multi-state government-contract NEMT provider with similar customer profile to Around the Sound's TRPC and BTB work.

Regional players

• Flying Angels: Long-distance medical and mobility transport service using airline-based and ground stretcher transport; partially comparable to Around the Sound's long-distance, state-to-state NEMT and gurney transport offerings, though primarily air-based.
• SilverRide: Senior and special-needs transportation service operating primarily in California with door-through-door escort service; comparable in target customer (seniors, mobility-limited individuals) and door-to-door service model, but geographically non-overlapping.
