Evacuation Bus Services for Any Emergency
No matter what kind of emergency you’re facing, we can provide evacuation transportation to get everyone to safety. Our charter buses are perfect for moving large groups out of danger zones quickly and efficiently. Each bus has enough space for passengers to bring personal belongings, luggage, or even small pets. If you need to evacuate people with disabilities, we can send an ADA-accessible bus equipped with a wheelchair lift and priority seating.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we provided essential transportation for healthcare workers and first responders. We can also assist with evacuations during natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. In the past, we’ve helped communities prepare for severe weather by staging buses in strategic locations around the city. This allows us to respond immediately when an evacuation order is issued.
Shuttle Buses for First Responders and Relief Workers
After an emergency, it’s important to have reliable transportation for first responders, relief workers, and volunteers. We offer shuttle services to help move personnel between command centers, staging areas, and disaster sites. Our buses can operate on a continuous loop to ensure that there’s always a ride available when someone needs it. This is especially useful for large-scale operations that require round-the-clock staffing.
If your team is coming in from out of town, we can pick them up at McGhee Tyson Airport and take them directly to the incident site. We’ve also worked with organizations like the Red Cross and FEMA to provide transportation for disaster response teams. With a charter bus, your crew will have a comfortable place to rest and recharge between shifts.
Contingency Plans for Businesses and Schools
Is your organization prepared for an emergency? Having a transportation plan in place can make all the difference when disaster strikes. We work with businesses, schools, and universities to develop customized contingency plans for any situation. Whether you need to evacuate an office building downtown or relocate students from a campus dormitory, we’ll create a solution that meets your needs.
For example, we can arrange standby contracts that guarantee you access to charter buses during an emergency. This gives you peace of mind knowing that you’ll have a way to evacuate employees or students if necessary. We can also conduct dry runs and training exercises to familiarize your staff with the evacuation process.
Comfortable and Modern Fleet Options
Our fleet includes a wide variety of vehicles ranging from full-size charter buses to compact minibuses. A standard charter bus can seat up to 56 passengers and comes equipped with amenities like air conditioning, reclining seats, restrooms, WiFi, and power outlets. This makes it easy to keep everyone comfortable during long trips out of town.
For smaller groups, we offer minibuses that can accommodate 18-35 passengers. These are ideal for shuttling people short distances within the city. If you have specific requirements, such as extra luggage space or onboard entertainment systems, just let us know and we’ll get you a bus that fits your needs.
