Immediate Dispatch and 24/7 Support
In an emergency, every minute counts. That’s why we offer immediate dispatch and 24/7 support for all emergency transportation requests. As soon as you call our hotline, our team will begin mobilizing vehicles from our statewide fleet to your location. We can have buses on the road within hours, ready to pick up passengers at designated assembly points or staging areas. During the 2013 Boulder floods, we worked with local authorities to evacuate residents from neighborhoods cut off by rising waters, using both main roads and alternate routes when necessary. Our dispatchers will stay in constant communication with your command center, providing real-time updates on vehicle locations, ETAs, and passenger counts. Whether you need to evacuate a single building or an entire community, you can count on Boulder Coach Bus Service to deliver fast, reliable service when it matters most.
Flexible Fleet Options for Any Situation
Every emergency is different, which is why we offer a wide range of fleet options to suit your specific needs. Our inventory includes everything from 15-passenger sprinter vans and 25-passenger minibuses to 47-passenger school buses and 56-passenger motorcoaches. Smaller vehicles are ideal for navigating narrow mountain roads or accessing remote trailheads in areas like Fourmile Canyon or Sugarloaf Mountain, while larger buses can move hundreds of people at once from evacuation zones to mass care shelters. All our vehicles come equipped with comfortable seating, climate control, and ample storage space for personal belongings or medical supplies. If you require ADA-accessible transportation, we can provide wheelchair-lift-equipped buses that meet all federal and state regulations. For long-distance evacuations, such as relocating residents from Boulder to Denver or Colorado Springs, our charter buses feature onboard restrooms, reclining seats, Wi-Fi, and power outlets to keep passengers comfortable during extended trips.
Evacuation Services for Wildfires, Floods, and More
Boulder County is no stranger to natural disasters, and neither are we. Boulder Coach Bus Service has extensive experience providing evacuation services during wildfires, floods, winter storms, and other emergencies that threaten public safety. When the Marshall Fire broke out in December 2021, we assisted with the rapid evacuation of residents from Louisville and Superior, transporting them to shelters outside the danger zone. During the spring runoff season, we monitor flood-prone areas along Boulder Creek, South Boulder Road, and Lefthand Canyon, ready to deploy buses at a moment’s notice if rising waters force evacuations. In addition to natural disasters, we also support emergency response operations for hazardous materials incidents, power outages, and civil unrest. Our team will work closely with your emergency management staff to develop evacuation plans, identify pickup locations, and coordinate the safe movement of people out of harm’s way.
Medical Transport and Special Needs Assistance
In addition to mass evacuations, Boulder Coach Bus Service provides specialized transportation services for individuals with medical or special needs. We understand that some passengers may require extra assistance during an emergency, whether due to mobility impairments, chronic health conditions, or lack of access to private vehicles. Our ADA-compliant buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts, securement systems, and priority seating areas to accommodate riders with disabilities. For those who need to be evacuated from hospitals, nursing homes, or assisted living facilities, we can arrange non-emergency medical transport with space for stretchers, oxygen tanks, and caregivers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented enhanced cleaning protocols and social distancing measures to protect vulnerable populations while in transit. If your organization serves seniors, people with disabilities, or other at-risk groups, you can trust Boulder Coach Bus Service to provide safe, dignified transportation in times of crisis.
Long-term Shuttle Operations and Continuity Planning
Some emergencies require more than just a one-time evacuation—they demand sustained transportation support over days, weeks, or even months. Boulder Coach Bus Service offers long-term shuttle operations to help your organization maintain continuity of operations during extended disruptions. This could include running daily commuter shuttles for essential workers when public transit is suspended, transporting relief supplies between distribution centers, or providing regular transfers between temporary housing sites and critical infrastructure. We have the capacity to manage complex logistics for large-scale incidents, including scheduling multiple routes, tracking ridership data, and adapting to changing conditions on the ground. If you’re looking to strengthen your disaster preparedness, we also offer consulting services to help you develop comprehensive transportation plans, conduct tabletop exercises, and establish pre-negotiated contracts for rapid response. With Boulder Coach Bus Service as your partner, you’ll be ready for whatever comes next.
