Evacuation Services for Wildfires, Floods, and Natural Disasters
Portland and the surrounding region are no strangers to natural disasters. From the historic Eagle Creek Fire and recent blazes in Clackamas County to winter storms that shut down I-84 through the Columbia River Gorge, we've seen how quickly conditions can change. When roads close and evacuation orders go into effect, you need a partner who understands the terrain and can adapt on the fly. We've moved residents out of threatened neighborhoods, transported evacuees to shelters at the Oregon Convention Center and local fairgrounds, and provided shuttle service for first responders working long shifts on the front lines. Our larger buses have room for luggage, pets in carriers, and even bulky medical equipment—so no one gets left behind.
Non-emergency Medical Transportation (nemt) for Hospitals and Care Facilities
During a crisis, hospitals and care facilities face unique challenges. Patients still need to make it to appointments like dialysis, chemotherapy, physical therapy, and more—even if they're in wheelchairs or need extra assistance. That's where we come in. We've worked with big names like OHSU, Legacy Health, Providence, and Kaiser Permanente to help them keep things running smoothly. Whether it's moving patients between campuses or getting staff to work when public transit shuts down, we've got it covered. And if you need something more comfortable for longer trips, our minibus and full-size buses come with reclining seats, climate control, and storage space for medical supplies.
Continuity Planning for Businesses and Government Agencies
Disasters don't just disrupt daily life—they threaten the continuity of essential services. We've helped city departments, utility companies, and private employers develop transportation plans that keep their operations running when it matters most. That might mean shuttling critical staff to the Bull Run Watershed, moving utility crews between staging areas during a wildfire response, or relocating an entire office to a temporary site outside the evacuation zone. Our account managers work with you to map out worst-case scenarios and establish pre-approved routes before the next crisis hits. With backup vehicles available statewide, you can rest easy knowing there's a plan B if the situation escalates.
Flexible Scheduling and Custom Routing to Meet Any Need
No two emergencies are alike—and neither are our solutions. Some clients need a single bus for a one-time evacuation; others require a fleet of vehicles running continuous loops between multiple sites. We offer both point-to-point charters and hourly packages that give you maximum flexibility as the situation evolves. You set the schedule, choose the pickup locations, and decide how long each trip lasts. If road closures force a detour, we'll coordinate with local authorities to find the fastest alternative. We've navigated everything from narrow mountain passes to congested urban corridors, always with the goal of keeping passengers safe and comfortable until the danger passes.
