Why Choose Coach Bus Erie for Hospital Transportation in Erie?
Healthcare professionals across the region trust us because we deliver exactly what you need: vehicles that show up on time, run on schedule, and keep people moving. We’ve worked with major hospital systems like UPMC Hamot, Saint Vincent Hospital, Allegheny Health Network, and the Erie VA Medical Center to provide everything from daily employee shuttles to last-minute emergency transfers. When winter weather hits or construction backs up traffic on I-79 and the Bayfront Connector, our buses stick to the schedule and get your staff to work. Need to move a patient between campuses? We’ll send a bus with room for family members and medical equipment. Setting up a vaccination site or mobile clinic? We’ll make sure everyone gets there together. Whatever challenge you’re facing, we have the experience and resources to solve it.
Private Shuttle Services for Hospital Staff Members
When you set up an ongoing hospital shuttle service with Coach Bus Erie, you’ll never have to worry about your doctors, nurses, volunteers, and other healthcare providers arriving late due to hectic traffic or limited parking. Instead, a driver will be there to pick them up at a designated location—whether it’s within your medical complex or at an off-site Park-and-Ride location—and drop them off right at their workplace, all according to a schedule you set. We operate on your timeline, so every hospital transportation service is tailored to your team’s specific needs and itinerary. And with onboard perks like reclining seats, WiFi connectivity, USB power outlets, tray tables, and more, your healthcare transportation shuttle can be as comfortable as you want it to be.
Commuter Shuttles to and From Hospitals Across Erie County
Erie’s geography and weather create real challenges for hospital workers. Many live miles from downtown, facing long drives on I-79, I-90, Route 5, and the Bayfront Connector—especially when lake-effect snow brings whiteout conditions. Parking at UPMC Hamot, Saint Vincent, and the VA Medical Center is tight, forcing staff to use remote lots and wait for crowded shuttles. We fix these problems by running private commuter shuttles from park-and-ride locations in places like Millcreek, Harborcreek, Fairview, and Summit Township directly to hospital campuses. Buses leave on time, follow express routes, and drop employees steps from their entrance. Riders use the trip to catch up on sleep, answer emails, or relax before a shift. Hospitals see better attendance, fewer late arrivals, and less demand for expensive downtown parking. It’s a simple solution that keeps Erie’s healthcare system moving—even in the worst winter weather.
On-demand Transportation for Patients and Families
Getting to a medical appointment isn’t always easy—especially if you’re traveling from out of town, rely on a wheelchair, or need to visit multiple facilities in one day. That’s why we offer on-demand transportation services for patients and their families throughout the greater Erie area. Whether you’re coming in from Meadville, Ashtabula, Warren, or another nearby community, we’ll make sure you get to your appointment safely and comfortably. Our larger buses can seat up to 56 passengers—ideal for group trips from senior living centers, rehabilitation programs, or support organizations. Need to stop at both UPMC Hamot and Saint Vincent Hospital in one trip? We’ll follow your exact itinerary and wait while you complete each appointment. With comfortable seating, climate control, and room for caregivers or medical equipment, our patient shuttles take the stress out of healthcare travel.
Emergency Response and Covid-19 Transportation Solutions
The past few years have shown how important flexible, large-scale transportation is during a public health crisis. When COVID-19 hit, we stepped up to help hospitals and government agencies move people quickly and safely across Erie County. That included running isolation shuttles for positive cases, transporting healthcare workers to pop-up testing sites at Erie Insurance Arena and the Bayfront Convention Center, and setting up mass vaccination clinics at places like the Millcreek Mall. Our biggest buses hold up to 56 people—perfect for moving large groups while still allowing for social distancing. We can also provide smaller vehicles for specialized tasks like contact tracing or home visits. Whatever the emergency, we’re ready to respond with the right equipment and experience.
Long-term and Short-term Contracts Available
No two healthcare organizations have the same transportation needs—which is why we offer both long-term and short-term contracts to fit your situation. If you’re looking to replace an existing shuttle program or add new routes between satellite clinics in areas like Corry, North East, or Edinboro, we’ll set up a multi-year agreement with consistent pricing and guaranteed availability. Just need extra capacity during flu season or a temporary construction project affecting Peach Street or 12th Street? We’ll rent you buses by the week or month until things get back to normal. Our goal is to be a true partner—not just another vendor—which means staying flexible and keeping lines of communication open at all times.
