The American Bus Association joined U.S. Department of Transportation's Great American Road Trip Expo to celebrate the start of the summer travel season.

Academy President and ABA Board Memeber, Francis Tedesco, donated a custom-wrapped motorcoach featuring the slogan #BusesMoveAmerica. The wrap graphics featured the new ABA idenity system featuring imagery of the great American outdoors, the bus also proud displayed the new ABA logo. 

ABA's Senior Vice President of Public Affairs and Government Relations, Callie Hoyt, noted the industry's growing momentum:

"Motorcoaches are the original shared mobility solution, and today's event underscored how essential they are to the American travel story. The new direction and energy at ABA, coupled with a renewed sense of purpose across the industry, is what led Secretary Duffy and the Department of Transportation to ensure motorcoaches were a key part of this celebration. The numbers tell the story: in 2024, both total passenger miles and total miles driven by motorcoaches increased 6%. The growth reflects what we're seeing every day - not just on the roads, but here in Washington, too. The motorocoach industry is moving forward, adn we're proud to help lead the way."

Academy was thrilled to assist ABA in promoting and advocating for the motorcoach industry at the event. 

We know the way!
