Special Offer
A special introductory offer for new bus operator members that have not held ABA membership within the last 18 months.
- $100: Membership through June 2014
- Upon renewal the appropriate annual due amount will be charged.
Motorcoach/bus operator membership is for private companies that own motorcoaches and perform a variety of transportation services such as charters, retail tours, scheduled service, sightseeing, local receptive operations, school bus, package express and special operations. Some also own travel agencies. Bus operator members must have operating authority from the U.S. Transportation Department or their state or provincial authorities to qualify for membership. If not applicable to that location, then proof of liability insurance is required. Bus operator membership requests are placed in a pending status for 30 days, allowing for comment by ABA operators to insure credibility of the pending operator. After that period, the membership becomes fully active.
Dues and Payment Information
Annual Dues: July-June
Dues amounts are in US Dollars.
The cost of membership dues for bus operators are calculated according to the number of buses a member owns.
