What ecoShuttle does

ecoShuttle, operating under the legal entity The Environmental Commuter Options (ECO) Company, is a privately held charter bus and shuttle transportation company headquartered in Sherwood, Oregon. The company provides group transportation services across the Pacific Northwest, operating in 23+ cities and communities spanning Oregon and southwest Washington. Its customer base spans weddings, corporate events, schools, government agencies, wine tour operators, airport travelers (PDX), and employer commuter programs.

The company's product surface comprises nine service lines: charter bus rentals, PDX airport shuttle service, subscription-based commuter services, the North Coast Express weekend service to the Oregon coast (operated in partnership with Tillamook County Transportation District), the Pioneer Express for Lewis & Clark College, the Troutdale Job Connect shuttle for Multnomah County, wedding transportation, corporate event shuttles, school trips, and wine tours. Its fleet runs on renewable diesel (R99), and vehicles are integrated with Samsara's third-party GPS tracking platform to provide real-time bus location data and traffic-delay alerts to customers. The company monetizes through hourly charter pricing with a 2-hour minimum, flat-fee airport transfers, recurring employer contracts for commuter shuttles (structured to leverage IRS pre-tax transit benefits), and partnership arrangements with public agencies and educational institutions.

ecoShuttle's go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer acquisition (website quote forms, phone, wedding expos) with sales-led enterprise engagement for commuter programs and government RFPs. The company is independently owned by co-owners Jesse Yun (VP) and Fiona Mitchell, with no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or external capital structure. Service operations are concentrated in the Portland metropolitan area, with selective expansion into the Oregon coast corridor via the North Coast Express partnership.
