Why Choose Redwood City Coach Bus Service?
Redwood City Coach Bus Service is the most trusted name in emergency transportation across California. We’ve been helping organizations plan for the worst since 2011, and our team knows how to respond quickly when every second counts. With dispatchers on call 24/7/365 and access to one of the largest fleets in the state, we can send vehicles anywhere in Redwood City or San Mateo County within hours—not days. Our company has worked with Cal OES, PG&E, local fire departments, hospitals like Stanford Health Care, and major employers to provide reliable evacuation and contingency shuttles during wildfires, earthquakes, floods, and power outages.
When you book with us, you get more than just a bus—you get a partner who understands the complexities of disaster response. We offer flexible contracts, transparent pricing, and real-time communication so you’re never left wondering where your people are. From pre-staging vehicles in high-risk zones like Emerald Hills to coordinating multi-day evacuations along Highway 101 or Interstate 280, we’ll make sure your emergency plan runs smoothly from start to finish.
Immediate Response for Any Crisis
Disasters don’t wait—and neither do we. As soon as you call, our team springs into action to find available vehicles and drivers near your location. We can dispatch buses to Redwood City neighborhoods like Friendly Acres, Roosevelt, or Woodside Plaza in less than two hours, and reach remote areas along Highway 84 or Skyline Boulevard just as fast. If you need to evacuate hundreds of people from multiple pick-up points, we’ll send an entire fleet and assign a project manager to oversee logistics.
Our company has responded to every type of emergency imaginable: wildfire evacuations in the Santa Cruz Mountains, flood rescues along the Bayfront Canal, earthquake damage assessments downtown, and even hazardous material incidents near industrial sites on Seaport Boulevard. No matter what happens, we’ll get your people out safely and keep your operation moving.
Evacuation Shuttles for Wildfires, Floods, and More
When mandatory evacuations are ordered, you need to move large numbers of people quickly and safely. Our charter buses can carry up to 56 passengers each, making them ideal for transporting residents from danger zones to shelters or staging areas. Smaller groups can ride in minibuses (18–35 seats) or sprinter vans (10–15 seats), which are easier to maneuver through narrow streets in neighborhoods like Palm Park or Redwood Oaks.
All vehicles are equipped with luggage racks or undercarriage storage for bags and pets, plus restrooms, AC, and reclining seats for comfort during long trips. We’ve worked with local emergency managers to set up continuous shuttle loops between evacuation sites and reception centers at places like Red Morton Community Center, Hoover Elementary School, or the San Mateo County Event Center. If roads are closed or conditions change, we’ll reroute instantly and keep everyone informed via text or phone.
Contingency Transportation for Essential Workers
Essential workers need to reach their jobs even when public transit shuts down. We provide dedicated commuter shuttles for hospital staff, utility crews, and first responders who can’t afford to miss a shift. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we ran daily routes to Sequoia Hospital, Kaiser Permanente Redwood City, and county offices on Marshall Street while Caltrain service was limited.
Buses can be scheduled on-demand or at fixed intervals, with pick-ups tailored to employee home addresses or park-and-ride lots along El Camino Real. Onboard Wi-Fi and power outlets let riders stay connected, while extra cleaning protocols reduce the risk of infection. If your organization has an emergency operations center (EOC) that must remain fully staffed, we’ll make sure everyone gets there—no excuses.
Power Outage and Psps Support
Planned power shutoffs (PSPS) by PG&E are a fact of life in Northern California. When the grid goes dark, we step in to fill the gaps. Our buses can shuttle residents to cooling or warming centers, deliver backup generators to critical facilities, or transport vulnerable individuals who rely on electricity for medical devices. We’ve assisted during major blackouts by running continuous loops between affected neighborhoods and safe zones with lights and HVAC.
For companies that need to maintain operations during outages, we offer standby contracts that guarantee a vehicle will be ready whenever you call. This is especially valuable for data centers, food distributors, and other industries with zero tolerance for downtime. Don’t let the next PSPS catch you unprepared—add us to your resiliency plan today.
Long-term Disaster Recovery Transportation
The aftermath of a disaster can last weeks or months. We provide sustained transportation support for recovery efforts, including shuttling construction crews to repair sites, moving volunteers to distribution hubs, and reconnecting displaced residents with their homes. Flexible rental terms allow you to keep buses on-site for as long as needed, with daily, weekly, or monthly billing options.
During downtime between shifts, vehicles can serve as mobile command posts, break rooms, or charging stations for phones and radios. We’re committed to helping communities rebuild stronger than before, no matter how long it takes. From the first alert to the final all-clear, Redwood City Coach Bus Service is with you every step of the way.
