About UZURV We believe mobility independence is for everyone. UZURV is a high growth national assisted community mobility and technology business. We’ve been very successful growing the business with public transit agencies to improve ADA paratransit service across the country.

It’s not by accident. We’ve grown, because of the quality of our service. UZURV’s riders and drivers rate the company extremely highly in satisfaction.
