Healthcare & hospitals

Connect your campus.
With fewer vehicles.

Hospital campuses sprawl. Patients can't walk between buildings. Staff waste time in parking lots. FlexTram is an ADA-compliant compact shuttle that lives on your campus — one driver moves up to 27 passengers between buildings on whatever loops, schedules, or on-demand routes the day requires.

The problem

What campus sprawl
is really costing you

Patients can't get between buildings
Elderly patients, post-surgical patients, and those with mobility challenges struggle to navigate sprawling medical campuses on foot.
Staff waste time in parking lots
Nurses and doctors park in distant structures and spend 10-15 minutes walking to their buildings each shift. That's lost clinical time.
Contracted shuttles aren't there when you need them
Outsourced shuttle services run on the contractor's schedule, not yours. When a patient needs a ride at 9 PM or a late discharge happens at 11 PM, the contracted van is gone. An onsite tram is ready when the day actually requires it.
Accessibility is non-negotiable
Healthcare facilities must be accessible. Golf carts aren't. Van lifts slow everything down. You need ADA compliance that doesn't compromise throughput.

The solution

One tram. One driver.
Your entire campus connected.

FlexTram is a hospital campus shuttle designed for the unique demands of medical facilities. A single compact tram connects parking structures, outpatient clinics, emergency departments, and administrative buildings — carrying up to 27 passengers with one driver.

Where you needed 4 shuttle vans and 4 drivers, two FlexTrams handle the same routes with two drivers. Patients ride a predictable loop they can count on. Staff get from parking to their buildings faster. And the whole operation is compact and agile — purpose-built for campus environments.

The vehicle stays on your campus. FlexTram isn't a contracted shuttle service that arrives and leaves. It's a tram parked on your property, ready when you need it. Run scheduled peak-hour loops between parking structures and patient care areas during shift changes. Run on-demand pickups for late-night discharges, VIP visitors, or weather events. Adjust the operating pattern to the day — same vehicle, same driver, same ADA-accessible boarding.

FlexTram is ADA accessible as standard — not a special configuration. Accessible boarding, appropriate aisle widths, and additional accessibility features are available on request. It's the hospital people mover built for patients first.

Common questions

Can FlexTram replace shuttle vans on a hospital campus?

Yes. One FlexTram carries up to 27 passengers — more than double a shuttle van — with one driver. Most hospital campuses replace 3-5 vans with 1-2 FlexTrams while improving patient satisfaction.

Is FlexTram ADA compliant for patient transport?

ADA accessibility is standard — not an add-on. Accessible boarding, appropriate aisle widths, and low-floor design make FlexTram ideal for patients with mobility challenges, wheelchair users, and elderly visitors.

Can FlexTram operate near patient care areas?

Yes. FlexTram is compact and agile, with a tight turning radius and quiet operation that lets it run near patient care areas, emergency department drop-offs, and clinical buildings without disrupting operations.

How is FlexTram operated on a hospital campus?

FlexTram is parked on your campus and operated by your team (or by a FlexTram-trained operator we provide). The day's pattern is yours to design: a fixed peak-hour loop between parking and the main entrance during 7 AM and 5 PM shift changes, on-demand pickups during midday and overnight, and dedicated runs for events like grand-rounds days or visitor surges. The vehicle doesn't leave the campus — it stays where the demand is.

How does FlexTram improve staff transportation on hospital campuses?

Staff spend less time walking from remote parking to their buildings. A predictable FlexTram loop gets nurses and doctors from parking to their posts faster — recovering clinical time that walking wastes.

What's the total cost savings vs. a shuttle van fleet?

Most hospital campuses see 50-60% lower total shuttle costs when switching to FlexTram. The savings come from fewer drivers, fewer vehicles, lower insurance, and reduced maintenance across the fleet.
