The strongest companies recognize that every part of the organization is connected—and that better results come when safety professionals, maintenance teams, operations leaders, drivers, and executives work from a shared understanding of what it takes to keep people and vehicles moving.
That is the idea behind the expanded 2026 BISC & BusMARC Summer Summit, taking place August 10–12 in Pittsburgh.
Built on the longstanding expertise of ABA’s Bus Industry Safety Council and Bus Maintenance and Repair Council, the Summit brings together the people responsible for safe, reliable, and efficient motorcoach operations. This year’s expanded program creates even more opportunities to learn across traditional departmental lines and bring practical solutions home.
Practical Education You Can Put to Work
The Summit is designed around the real challenges operators face every day.
Attendees can explore strategies to strengthen safety management systems, reduce operational risk, improve tire safety, use video technology for risk management, prepare for inspections, strengthen driver training, and understand emerging fleet technologies.
Maintenance and operations leaders will have opportunities to learn directly from OEMs, industry experts, regulators, and fellow operators. Safety professionals can examine compliance, litigation exposure, incident prevention, and organizational safety culture.
And because no two roles are exactly alike, new role-based Summit Tracks make it easier to identify the sessions most relevant to your responsibilities.
The value is simple: practical ideas, real-world perspectives, and stronger connections with professionals who solve many of the same problems you do.
