An additional 46 communities are currently under construction with a combined capacity for more than 6,000 residents.

“Sunrise seeks to do business with companies that understand the needs of the seniors we serve,” said Daniel Schwartz, senior vice president of North American Operations at Sunrise. “Trailways’ nationwide reach and focus on the safety and comfort of our traveling residents gives us greater peace of mind. This ‘first of its kind’ relationship between a major provider of senior living services and a nationwide transportation provider demonstrates Sunrise’s commitment to providing a superior level of service to our residents.”

Trailways and each of its member-companies are required to maintain U.S. Department of Defense certification as well as comply with all U.S. Department of Transportation, state and local regulations related to motorcoach services. Trailways member-companies equip coaches with state-of-the-art security technologies, such as Ground Positioning Systems (GPS), for tracking the Trailways fleet, which offers elevated safety- and security assurances.

Gale Ellsworth, Trailways’ President & CEO, said her network is honored to have Sunrise as a preferred charter transport partner.

“We look forward to fulfilling Sunrise’s expectations for its transport service needs,” said Ellsworth. “Team Trailways has maintained an exemplary safety and security record for the seven decades it has been serving the public; and, we have elevated those standards in recent years to meet contemporary demands of the 21st Century. While price for transport services is an important consideration, we recognize that passenger safety trumps all other considerations by our clients.”

The Trailways Transportation System consists of nearly 80 member-transport companies operating throughout North America and Europe.
