Dr. A/Rahman,

Quick answer - Federally = none;  States = none ; local municipalities = mostly as contractural agreements on minimum acceptable performance x% of the time with private providers when there is no municipal provider.  

The following links may help clarify this for you:

And a bit more geographically and politically relevant to your situation:

Best of luck with finding the most appropriate solution for your situation.

Dear colleagues:

  Anyone can share what standards govern ambulance response times to medical emergencies at your institution?
