We remain focused on rider safety and comfort, reducing congestion, and supporting mobility across the region, and we hope this process results in an outcome that meets these priorities.”

Protect Seasonal Workforce Solutions That Keep Group Travel Moving

From motorcoach operations and attractions to destinations and hospitality businesses, short-season roles are essential to keeping group travel moving, especially in rural and gateway communities. Even when competitive wages are offered, recruiting enough domestic workers for these positions remains a serious challenge.
