Preferred NEMT LLC is the latest business in Selma aimed at helping the community grow and prosper.

While Roosevelt Tinker was working at Park Place, he designed a plan to help the disabled and elderly residents arrive at doctor appointments, grocery stores and other places on a daily basis. Between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. for a small fee, Preferred NEMT makes themselves available to the public.

Over the years, we’ve seen the elderly and disabled throughout the county in desperate need of transportation. We believe Preferred NEMT is coming at the right time to help solve this problem. We’re optimistic that Tinker can eventually expand thIs business after achieving success.
