Non-Emergency Medical Transport From Greene County, PA
Rob Cannon opened ATS on January 1, 2025, after Greene County lost its non-emergency transport service. Today the company provides wheelchair, stretcher, and ambulatory transport across five counties in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Why Rob Started ATS
The local EMS service that handled non-emergency transport in Greene County closed abruptly. The county’s taxi service had shut down years before. Many residents, especially older people and people with disabilities, were left with no way to get to dialysis, a doctor’s appointment, or home from the hospital.
Rob comes from an EMS background, so he understood what the closure meant for someone who needs dialysis three times a week or a trip home after a hospital stay.
ATS opened on January 1, 2025, under Emergency Authority from the PA PUC.
