ABA Applauds Motorcoaches as Eco-Friendly Transportation Leaders

Motorcoach buses, widely recognized for their passenger-carrying capabilities in long-distance services, encompass touring, intercity travel, private charter, and commuter transit. The ABAF partnered with TTI to assess the environmental impact of motorcoach operations, comparing energy use and emissions with other transportation modes. The study continues the legacy of the 2019 report, ensuring an up-to-date evaluation based on the latest available information and emission rates.

ABA and YGS Association Solutions, ABA’s publishing partner, provide you with extensive opportunities to reach and influence 750+ motorcoach operators throughout the year in any of our content offerings.

No Time for Neutral: Why Diversity and Inclusion is Good for Business

Systemic inequities are not just an artifact of history; they continue and their impact on minoritized communities is as pervasive as it is vast. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work has been around for decades. However, many businesses have used the “check the box” approach to DEI or have ignored it altogether. To prepare for a more diverse future, businesses would do well to foster inclusivity and diversity in their leadership and employees. Inclusivity requires us to identify unconscious bias and become more mindful of our systems to create true belongingness which is good for business. Webinar | May 8 | 2 p.m. ET

An Amazing Marketplace in an Amazing City

Many of the comments I received about this year’s Marketplace in Nashville, Tenn., were a fervent “The event was amazing!” And why wouldn’t it be? Held Jan. 13–16 at Music City Center, Marketplace saw more operators taking business appointments than ever before (with over 300 operators on the business floor), more than 1,000 motorcoach and tour operators under one roof, nearly 3,000 attendees from every part of North America and overseas, and the most sponsors ever at more than 120.
