Driven by Compassion. Dedicated to Community.
Reliable transportation is not just about getting from point A to point B—it is a vital link to healthcare, independence, and overall well-being. At Lightning Speed Community Transportation, Inc., we provide safe, dependable, and compassionate non-emergency medical transportation across Durham and the greater Research Triangle area.
We know firsthand how stressful transportation can be when facing mobility challenges, tight budgets, or unreliable services that cancel at the last minute. Our promise is simple: when you book a ride with us, you are guaranteed patient, respectful, door-to-door care that treats you like family.
Our Mission
Our mission is to eliminate transportation barriers to essential healthcare by delivering punctual, high-quality, and affordable non-emergency transit. We are committed to treating every passenger with the utmost dignity, ensuring patients, older adults, and individuals with mobility needs arrive safely, comfortably, and on time.
Because financial hardship should never stand in the way of necessary medical care, we proudly offer 50% off standard fares to qualifying riders in need. Serving our community and making a genuine difference in people's daily lives will always come before profit.
Our Story
Lightning Speed Community Transportation was founded by Joshua O'Brien Edwards out of a clear, pressing need seen every day across underserved neighborhoods in our community. Too many patients were missing critical medical visits, facing predatory pricing, or enduring the anxiety of rideshare drivers canceling minutes before an appointment.
Today, Lightning Speed operates as a true community partner—serving everyone from recurring dialysis patients and recovering hospital discharge riders to families planning essential group trips.
