Ames Hospital Shuttle Bus Services

Short-term and Long-term Shuttle Contracts Available

Charter Bus Company Ames offers both short-term and long-term shuttle contracts to fit your organization’s needs. If you’re undergoing a major renovation or expansion project—like building a new wing, repaving parking lots, or upgrading infrastructure—we can provide temporary shuttles to bridge the gap until construction is finished. These services typically run for a few weeks or months and help maintain access when regular pathways are blocked.

For ongoing transportation needs, we recommend setting up a long-term contract. This is ideal for hospitals that want to offer permanent commuter shuttles, reduce parking congestion, or improve access for underserved populations. Long-term contracts come with discounted rates, priority vehicle allocation, and the option to customize amenities such as Wi-Fi, power outlets, bike racks, or branded signage. Some of our partners have kept shuttles running continuously for years.

Fleet Options for Any Group Size

We have a wide range of vehicles available, so you can choose the best option for your team. For smaller groups, our 15-passenger minibuses are perfect for quick trips between parking lots and hospital entrances. If you need more space, our 25- to 35-passenger midsize buses offer comfortable seating and extra room for bags or medical equipment. And for large-scale operations, our 56-passenger charter buses can move dozens of people at once—ideal for major hospitals like Mary Greeley Medical Center or multi-site healthcare systems.

All of our buses come with standard features like reclining seats, climate control, and overhead storage. You can also request additional amenities such as free WiFi, individual power outlets, USB charging ports, or even seatback tray tables—whatever makes the ride easier for your staff.

Ada-accessible Buses and Special Accommodations

Every rider deserves reliable transportation, which is why we offer ADA-accessible buses equipped with wheelchair lifts, ramps, and securement areas. These vehicles also feature wider aisles, priority seating, grab bars, and audio/visual announcement systems to assist passengers with mobility challenges, low vision, or hearing impairments.

If someone requires additional assistance—such as help boarding, extra time at stops, or space for a personal care attendant—just let us know when booking. We’ll make sure their needs are met. For non-emergency medical transport (NEMT), we can accommodate walkers, oxygen tanks, service animals, and other essential items. Our goal is to provide comfortable, dignified service for everyone.

Comfortable Amenities for Productive Commutes

Keeping your team comfortable and connected during transit is easy with our range of onboard amenities. Free Wi-Fi and power outlets let riders check email, review charts, or unwind with streaming video on the way to work. Reclining seats and climate control create a relaxing environment for those coming off a long shift. Overhead parcel racks store backpacks and lunch coolers, while underfloor luggage bays on larger coaches can handle suitcases or bulky gear.

If you have specific requests—like installing hand sanitizer dispensers, posting route maps, or playing recorded health messages—we’re happy to accommodate them. You can even brand the exterior of the bus with your hospital’s logo or colors for extra visibility.
