Fast-response Evacuation Buses Ready 24/7

When a hurricane is heading for the Gulf Coast or a wildfire jumps the Green Swamp, there’s no time to waste. You need buses on the ground ASAP—and that’s exactly what we deliver. Because we have one of the largest fleets in Florida, we can dispatch vehicles to your location anywhere in Polk County within hours of your call. Whether you’re moving families out of low-lying neighborhoods around Lake Parker, Lake Hollingsworth, or Lake Morton, evacuating seniors from assisted living facilities near South Florida Avenue or Edgewood Drive, or clearing college students from Florida Southern College, Southeastern University, or Keiser University campuses, we’ll get them to safety fast. And if roads are closed or conditions change, our dispatchers will reroute buses in real time to keep everyone moving.

Custom Routing and Scheduling for Any Scenario

No two emergencies are alike—which is why we build every evacuation plan from scratch. Tell us how many people you need to move, where they’re starting from (downtown Lakeland, Kathleen, Medulla, or Crystal Lake), and where you want them to go (shelters in Orlando, Tampa, or Gainesville)—and we’ll handle the rest. We can send multiple buses to pick up evacuees at designated assembly points like RP Funding Center, Lake Mirror Complex, or Lakeside Village, run continuous loops between hospitals such as Lakeland Regional Health, Watson Clinic Main, or Bartow Regional Medical Center and staging areas, or transport small groups with special needs in wheelchair-accessible vehicles. If you’re not sure what kind of schedule makes sense, our experienced staff will walk you through the options and recommend the most efficient solution.

Enhance Company Culture with Daily or Weekly Shuttles

Comfortable, Reliable Fleet Options

During an evacuation, people may spend hours stuck in traffic on I-4, US-98, or Polk Parkway—so it’s important to give them a ride that’s clean, comfortable, and climate-controlled. Our charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, strong air conditioning, overhead storage racks, luggage bays for suitcases or medical equipment, and onboard restrooms to reduce pit stops. Passengers can stay informed by watching news updates on flat-screen monitors, charge their phones using power outlets at every row, and use free WiFi to contact relatives or check social media. For short-distance shuttles within city limits (like moving residents from east side neighborhoods near Combee Road to west side shelters off Harden Boulevard), we also offer minibuses that are easy to load and unload quickly.

Convenient Amenities

Accessible and Inclusive Transportation

We believe that everyone deserves a safe way out during an emergency—including people with disabilities, limited mobility, or other special requirements. If you need ADA-compliant transportation, just let us know when you book. We have wheelchair-accessible buses fitted with lifts, extra-wide aisles, priority seating, and securement straps. These vehicles can accommodate riders who use walkers, scooters, or service animals, and drivers will assist with boarding and exiting as needed. We’ve worked with nursing homes, group homes, dialysis centers, and rehab clinics across the county to evacuate vulnerable populations, so you can trust us to handle these situations with care and professionalism.
