Membership in the council is open to ABA members and non-ABA members. In addition to U.S. and Canadian motorcoach operator members, the council is open to representatives from: bus manufacturers; insurance providers; other bus associations; industry-related organizations; industry consultants; tour operators; trade publications; government representatives including leading safety, inspection, enforcement and regulatory officials; and others.

Members assist ABA in developing comments to government agencies, testimony to be presented on Capitol Hill, statements to media inquiries, and provide other support as needed.

Winter BISC Meeting 2008 [1]

Thank you for all of those who attending the Winter BISC meeting in Virginia Beach. It was a huge success, with over eighty members discuss the most pressing issues facing safety in the motorcoach industry. For those who were unable to attend, we hope to see you in Ashburn, VA in June for the Spring 2008 BISC meeting.

The BISC would especially like to thank Mr. Tim Davis, CVSA, for giving up his presentation time so we could accommodate Mr. John Hill, Administrator, FMCSA. Mr. Hill spoke on a variety of issues and was kind enough to answer questions and listen to concerns throughout the industry. However, due to the lack of time Mr. Davis was unable to present, but his presentation is posted below. Please feel free to contact Mr. Davis or Norm Littler if you have any questions.
