Fast Response Times Across Northwest Indiana
When minutes count, you need a transportation provider who can respond immediately. We have dispatchers on call 24/7/365 to send buses anywhere in Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago, Munster, Highland, or Dyer at a moment’s notice. Once we receive your request, we’ll mobilize drivers and vehicles from our local fleet hubs and head straight to the pickup location. Most emergencies don’t happen during business hours—that’s why we’re always ready to roll overnight, weekends, or holidays. You can reach us anytime by calling our emergency hotline. We’ll stay in constant communication throughout the operation and adjust plans as needed based on real-time updates from your incident command team.
Custom Evacuation Plans for Any Scenario
No two emergencies are exactly alike, which is why we offer fully customized evacuation plans tailored to your specific needs. We’ll work with you to determine the best pickup and drop-off locations, whether that’s a hospital like Franciscan Health Hammond, a school such as Morton High School, or a large employer like Cargill or Lear Corporation. Need to move people across state lines to Chicago or Indianapolis? We’ve got you covered. We can also arrange for multiple trips if you have more evacuees than can fit on a single bus.
If you’re planning ahead for hurricane season, winter storms, or other potential disasters, ask about our standby contracts. These agreements guarantee that you’ll have buses reserved and ready to deploy at a moment’s notice, giving you peace of mind knowing that your emergency transportation is already taken care of.
Comfortable and Accessible Buses for All Passengers
During an emergency evacuation, it’s important that everyone can travel together—including seniors, children, and people with disabilities. Our charter buses and minibuses are designed to accommodate passengers of all ages and mobility levels. We offer ADA-accessible vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts, priority seating, and extra handrails. There’s plenty of room for service animals, walkers, or oxygen tanks.
Onboard amenities like air conditioning, reclining seats, and restrooms help keep everyone comfortable during long trips out of harm’s way. For added convenience, most buses feature free WiFi and power outlets so riders can stay informed by accessing news updates or contacting loved ones en route. Overhead storage racks and undercarriage bays provide space for personal belongings, medical supplies, or emergency kits. If you have specific accessibility requirements, let us know—we’ll make sure every evacuee gets the support they need.
