Why Choose Bloomington Coach Bus Service for Emergency Transportation?
Bloomington Coach Bus Service has been providing reliable group transportation solutions in Bloomington and across Minnesota for years. We understand the unique challenges of emergency situations and have the experience, resources, and local knowledge to respond quickly and effectively. Our team is available 24/7/365 to answer your call, dispatch vehicles, and coordinate logistics with your command center or emergency management team. We’ve supported evacuations during tornado warnings, transported essential workers during blizzards, relocated residents during apartment fires, and provided backup shuttles when light rail service was disrupted. Whether you need to move 10 people or 1,000+, we’ll build a custom plan that keeps everyone safe and accounted for.
Immediate Response and Flexible Scheduling
In an emergency, every second counts. That’s why we offer instant quotes and same-day dispatch for all types of urgent transportation requests. Our reservation specialists are standing by 24/7 to take your call, answer your questions, and send the nearest available vehicle to your location. We can pick up passengers from homes, workplaces, schools, hospitals, shelters, or staging areas anywhere in Bloomington or the Twin Cities metro. Need to evacuate an apartment complex near Mall of America, shuttle nurses between Fairview Southdale Hospital and Methodist Hospital, or relocate students from a flooded school in West Bloomington? We’ll get it done—fast. You can book a bus for a few hours, a full day, or multiple days depending on the scope of the emergency. And if plans change (as they often do), we’ll adapt our schedule to meet your evolving needs.
Comfortable and Accessible Vehicles for Any Situation
Our fleet includes a wide range of buses and vans to suit any group size or mobility requirement. Choose from 15-passenger sprinter vans, 25- to 35-passenger minibuses, 47-passenger school buses, or 56-passenger motorcoaches—all available in Bloomington and surrounding areas. Many vehicles are equipped with ADA features such as wheelchair lifts, ramps, and priority seating for riders with disabilities. Onboard amenities may include climate control (essential during summer heat waves or winter cold snaps), reclining seats, restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and overhead storage for personal belongings or medical equipment. If you need to transport evacuees to a Red Cross shelter, move seniors from an assisted living facility, or set up a mobile command post, we have the right vehicle for the job.
Serving All Types of Emergencies
No two emergencies are exactly alike, which is why we offer flexible solutions for a wide range of scenarios. Common use cases include:
- Natural disasters: tornadoes, floods, severe thunderstorms, winter storms
- Fire evacuations: apartment buildings, nursing homes, hotels, office towers
- Hazardous materials incidents: chemical spills, gas leaks, industrial accidents
- Power outages: transporting residents to warming/cooling centers
- Civil unrest: relocating staff or volunteers away from protest zones
- Public health emergencies: shuttling essential workers, supporting vaccination sites
- Mass transit disruptions: replacing light rail or bus service during shutdowns
We’ve worked with city and county emergency managers, police and fire departments, hospitals, schools, universities, and private companies to support their contingency plans. Whatever the crisis, we’re ready to help.
Long-term and Short-term Contracts Available
Some emergencies are over in a few hours; others can last days or weeks. That’s why we offer both short-term and long-term charter options to fit your timeline and budget. Need a single bus to evacuate a building after a fire alarm? We’ll send one right away. Coordinating a multi-day response to flooding along Nine Mile Creek or the Minnesota River? We can station multiple vehicles at strategic locations and run continuous shuttles between pickup points and shelters. For organizations that want to be proactive, we also offer standby contracts where a bus is pre-positioned and ready to deploy at a moment’s notice. This is ideal for large employers, healthcare facilities, or residential complexes that need guaranteed access to transportation during a crisis.
Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
We know that cost is always a concern, especially during an emergency when budgets are tight and resources are stretched. That’s why we offer competitive rates and transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surcharges. You’ll receive a detailed quote upfront based on the type of vehicle, number of hours or days, distance traveled, and any special requirements. Sharing a bus is often much more cost-effective than reimbursing individual mileage or paying for multiple taxis/Ubers. Plus, it ensures everyone stays together and arrives safely at their destination. If you’re working with FEMA, DHS, or another agency that requires specific documentation, we can provide invoices and reports to support your reimbursement process.
