Hospital ∓ Healthcare Worker Shuttles During Covid-19

The coronavirus pandemic has pushed Michigan’s healthcare system to the brink—but Portage Charter Bus is stepping up to help. We’re providing private transportation for doctors, nurses, and support staff at hospitals across Portage and Kalamazoo County, including Bronson Methodist Hospital and Ascension Borgess Hospital. With elective surgeries canceled and new visitor restrictions in place, many employees have lost access to public transit or campus shuttle routes. Our solution: custom-built schedules that run 24/7 between residential neighborhoods, park-and-ride lots, and hospital entrances. Vehicles are sanitized between trips and can be equipped with hand sanitizer stations upon request. It’s a safer, more reliable way for essential workers to commute while the fight against COVID-19 continues.
