Link Shuttle Inc. Marks 13 Year Milestone with Intro of New Vehicle-Integrated Technology & Specialized Passenger Transport Services
Through a tough economy, one So. Cal transportation company marks a milestone by investing in its continued growth, adding new proprietary GPS tracking technology to its vehicle fleet and bolstering its passenger transport service offering.
San Diego, CA, March 21, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In the midst of corporate downsizing, layoffs, budget cuts and bailouts, one San Diego company is prepping for its 13th year in operation a little differently – strengthening its service offering to grow business. With a dedicated focus on the careful, quality transport of students K-12 and others with developmental and mobility challenges, Link Shuttle Inc. (Link), one of Southern California’s leading specialized transportation companies, has installed the ProCon Global Positioning System in its entire fleet of customized transport vehicles. Providing real-time vehicle tracking capability with an easy to use Google Map web interface, Link’s industry-leading technology now gives schools, dispatch, family and loved ones up-to-the-minute vehicle and passenger location information that’s accessible from any web-enable computer. This new addition to the Link fleet further reinforces their commitment to safe, reliable transportation and their decade-old company moto, “Getting you there…with care.”
Partnering with VehiclePath, one of the leading mobile fleet tracking operations in the U.S., Link’s new state-of-the-art global positioning system (GPS) now gives the company and its clients instant location information to any one of their 40+ transport vehicles at the click of a mouse. This highly efficient and effective proprietary system allows for monitoring all facets of the transport process – as they happen – from dispatch and pick-up to in-route and drop off. Link’s vehicle-integrated and driver mobile ProCon GPS provides real-time tracking through a user-friendly dedicated Google map web interface at http://www.vehiclepath.com allowing: multiple vehicle views simultaneously, instant exact locales of vehicle whereabouts, vehicle stop and move details, remote vehicle disables, instant notification of pre-set speeding instances and out-of-bounds excursions, and time and location of both passenger pick-up and drop off.
Link’s Owner and CEO, Cynthia Sanders, has spent more than a decade building the company’s reputation through a commitment to offering customers the best specialized transportation services that are not only safe and reliable, but also responsible. “The introduction of Link’s new vehicle-integrated GPS technology allows us to be completely on top of our fleet at all times,” states Sanders. “This provides increased efficiency and quality control while at the same time, offering both clients and passengers greater peace of mind.”
The current economy is drastically affecting all industries, not the least of which is transportation. “Economic difficulties are forcing many companies and institutions to slash costs and get rid of essential services,” comments Sanders. “Unfortunately, transportation is often hit first. However, Link affords clients the ability to maintain their vital transportation needs without sacrificing quality, safety or accountability.” Sanders continues, “our 100 percent in-house operation is turnkey, completely eliminating clients’ needs to dedicate additional time, resources, personnel and money to the service. By using Link, clients are comfortable and confident their transportation is being handled carefully, professionally and cost-effectively so they can focus solely on their primary business objectives.”
Link began in the summer of 1996 as a reliable small-scale transportation alternative to San Diego’s many area attractions and entertainment destinations. Since then, the company has grown 10-fold, expanding both its client-base and internal operations, to become one of the leading large-scale special needs transportation providers in Southern California, with a primary focus on passengers and students (K-12) who have development disabilities or mobility challenges. Over the years, Link has provided transportation services to Budweiser, American Marketing Association, Mail Boxes Etc., Marriott, UCSD, San Diego Regional Centers, San Diego Unified School District, Cajon Valley Unified School District and Poway Unified School District among many others.
Unique to Link’s successful business model is its in-house team of dedicated drivers, route aides and management personnel. Every one of the company’s 60+ staff members is an employee. Not operating through the use of sub-contractors, temporary staff or freelance personnel allows Link to remain incredibly competitive, which translates to a substantial cost-savings for clients especially during uncertain economic times, while guaranteeing the highest level of standards and practices in the industry. All Link employees undergo stringent Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV), Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background checks and are required to participate in random drug screenings and specialized sensitivity trainings. This ensures only the most qualified and caring drivers and aides are transporting and assisting Link passengers.
Based in San Diego, Link Shuttle Inc. is a leading provider of safe, reliable transportation services for students (K-12) and passengers with developmental and mobility challenges. Offering a full range of specialized services including: pre-arranged transportation, destination-specific group transportation, contract transport services for individuals and groups, and specialized student and school transportation, Link has spent 13 years ensuring passengers “get there…with care.” Link Shuttle Inc. is located at 1125 Presioca Street in Spring Valley.
