We have the resources and expertise to handle any situation, from natural disasters like wildfires, earthquakes, and floods to man-made incidents such as power grid failures, hazardous material spills, and civil unrest. Our team is available 24/7/365 to answer your call, coordinate logistics, and provide real-time updates on the status of your fleet.
We also understand the importance of communication and transparency during an emergency. That’s why we offer GPS tracking on all our buses, so you can monitor their location and progress at any time. We can also assign a project manager to serve as your single point of contact, oversee operations on the ground, and liaise with other stakeholders such as law enforcement, fire departments, and emergency management agencies. With Santa Monica Coach Bus Service, you’ll never have to worry about being left in the dark or not knowing where your people are—we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Comprehensive Fleet Options for Any Emergency
No two emergencies are exactly alike, which is why we offer a wide range of bus types and sizes to suit your specific needs. Our fleet includes full-size charter buses that can seat up to 56 passengers, perfect for moving large groups quickly and efficiently. These coaches come equipped with onboard restrooms, luggage bays, reclining seats, climate control, and Wi-Fi—ideal for long-distance evacuations or staging operations outside the immediate danger zone.
For smaller groups or situations where maneuverability is key, we also have minibuses and sprinter vans that can accommodate between 15 and 35 passengers. These vehicles are great for shuttling people to and from designated pickup points, transporting medical personnel or first responders, or navigating narrow streets and congested areas. All our buses are maintained to the highest safety standards and can be outfitted with additional amenities upon request, such as PA systems, power outlets, or bike racks.
Disaster Relief Transportation You Can Rely On
In the aftermath of a disaster, getting people to safety is only part of the equation—you also need to support the ongoing relief efforts and help communities recover. Santa Monica Coach Bus Service has extensive experience working with organizations like FEMA, the Red Cross, and local emergency management offices to provide transportation for relief workers, volunteers, and supplies. We can set up continuous shuttle loops between shelters, distribution centers, and command posts, ensuring that essential personnel and resources are always where they’re needed most.
If your team requires overnight accommodations, we can arrange for sleeper buses or coordinate lodging at hotels outside the affected area. We can also assist with the relocation of vulnerable populations, such as seniors, individuals with disabilities, or non-English speakers, making sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Whatever the mission, you can trust Santa Monica Coach Bus Service to deliver prompt, professional, and compassionate service from start to finish.
Evacuation Services for Wildfires, Earthquakes, and More
California is no stranger to natural disasters, and neither are we. Over the years, we’ve helped evacuate thousands of residents from wildfire-threatened communities in Malibu, Topanga, and Pacific Palisades, as well as provided emergency transportation during major earthquakes and mudslides. When time is of the essence, you need a company that can mobilize quickly and execute a plan without hesitation. That’s exactly what we do.
Our drivers are trained to operate under stressful conditions and follow instructions from emergency personnel. They know how to navigate road closures, detours, and hazardous environments while keeping passengers calm and orderly. We can stage buses at pre-designated assembly points, conduct multiple trips as needed, and work around the clock until everyone is out of harm’s way. In addition to mass evacuations, we can also assist with smaller-scale rescues, such as extracting hikers stranded in remote areas or transporting patients from damaged hospitals to safer facilities.
Contingency Planning for Public Transit Disruptions
Public transportation is the lifeblood of many cities, but it’s also vulnerable to unexpected disruptions—whether due to mechanical failures, labor strikes, security threats, or severe weather. If you’re a transit agency or municipal operator looking to bolster your contingency plans, Santa Monica Coach Bus Service can provide the backup you need to keep riders moving and minimize service interruptions.
We’ve worked with agencies like LA Metro, Santa Monica Big Blue Bus, and Culver CityBus to supply replacement buses during rail shutdowns, bridge repairs, and other planned or unplanned outages. Our team can replicate existing routes, honor fare agreements, and integrate seamlessly with your operations center. We understand the importance of maintaining public confidence and will do everything possible to ensure a smooth transition until normal service resumes.
