Immediate Response and Dispatch Anywhere in Northern California
We know that every second counts during an emergency. That’s why we offer 24/7/365 dispatch and support for all types of crisis situations. As soon as you contact us, our team will work quickly to gather your requirements, identify available vehicles, and send them to your location without delay. We can deploy buses to any address in Redding, Anderson, Shasta Lake, Palo Cedro, Cottonwood, Bella Vista, Happy Valley, or unincorporated areas within hours—or even minutes—of your call. If you need to evacuate people out of the region entirely, we can also send vehicles to Chico, Red Bluff, Mount Shasta, Yreka, Susanville, or other destinations across California and neighboring states.
A Fleet Ready for Any Situation
Our fleet includes minibuses, full-size charter buses, school buses, and ADA-accessible vehicles ready to move groups of any size on short notice. Whether you need one bus or fifty, we can dispatch them anywhere in Shasta County—including Anderson, Shasta Lake City, Palo Cedro, Bella Vista, Cottonwood, Burney, or Mountain Gate—within hours. We’ve helped evacuate neighborhoods threatened by wildfires near Keswick Dam, Centerville Road, and Old Oregon Trail; transported residents from flood zones along the Sacramento River and Clear Creek; and provided standby shuttles during PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events affecting downtown Redding, Hilltop Drive, and residential areas west of I-5.
Our charter buses can carry 40-56 passengers and feature luggage bays for suitcases, medical equipment, or supplies. Minibuses seat 18-35 people and are ideal for quick trips between shelters, hospitals like Mercy Medical Center or Shasta Regional Medical Center, and staging areas such as Redding Civic Auditorium or Simpson University. If you’re moving seniors from assisted living facilities like Oakmont of Redding or Holiday Hilltop Estates, request a vehicle with a wheelchair lift and priority seating.
Customizable Solutions for Any Emergency
No two emergencies are exactly alike—and neither are our transportation plans. We tailor every charter to fit your specific needs, timeline, and budget. Need to evacuate an entire neighborhood before a wildfire reaches your street? We’ll send enough buses to get everyone out in one trip. Coordinating mutual aid teams coming in from out of town? We can pick them up at Redding Municipal Airport (RDD), Amtrak station on Yuba Street, or park-and-ride lots off Cypress Avenue and shuttle them to the incident command post. Running a shelter that needs resupply runs to Costco on Dana Drive or Walmart Supercenter on Churn Creek Road? We’ll set up a recurring schedule until the crisis is over.
You choose the pickup points, drop-off locations, departure times, and route preferences—we handle the rest. And if the situation changes mid-operation (road closures, shifting fire lines, etc.), we adapt quickly to keep your people moving.
Comfortable Buses With Room for People and Belongings
During an evacuation, evacuees may be on the road for several hours or longer depending on traffic, distance to shelter, and road closures. Our charter buses are equipped with comfortable reclining seats, climate control, restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and TV monitors—features that help reduce stress and keep everyone calm during a difficult situation. There is ample storage space for luggage, pets in carriers, mobility aids, or personal belongings. If you have specific requests such as making room for oxygen tanks, stretchers, or service animals, let us know when booking so we can accommodate your group properly.
For multi-day deployments supporting emergency operations centers (EOC), CAL FIRE base camps, or National Guard missions, we provide continuous shuttle service between hotels like Sheraton Redding at Sundial Bridge, La Quinta Inn & Suites, or Red Lion Hotel and key sites including Shasta District Fairgrounds, Big League Dreams Sports Park, or Bethel Church campus.
Serving All of Shasta County and Beyond
Redding Minibus Company proudly serves every corner of Shasta County, including Anderson, Shasta Lake, Palo Cedro, Bella Vista, Cottonwood, Burney, Fall River Mills, and more. We also provide emergency transportation to neighboring counties such as Tehama, Trinity, Siskiyou, Lassen, and Plumas.

Our team is familiar with local roads, highways like I-5 and Highway 44, and popular evacuation routes used during past incidents like the Carr Fire, Zogg Fire, and Fawn Fire. No matter where you are or where you need to go, we have you covered.
