Founder and CEO

Rides Now Transport

Professional Summary

Patricia Augustin founded Rides Now Transport with a practical, care-centered approach to non-emergency transportation. The business was shaped by firsthand experience seeing how often families and clients struggle when reliable transportation is not in place.

That experience helped define the company’s priorities: dignity, punctuality, compassion, and a smoother path to care for seniors, mobility-limited riders, and the people coordinating transportation on their behalf.

Patricia’s goal is to help reduce missed appointments, improve access to care, and make transportation feel dependable instead of stressful.
