🚦 Friendly reminder: Our Roads, Our Safety® Week rolls in next week! 🚌🚛🚗

Whether you're behind the wheel of a motorcoach, headed out on a summer road trip, or just trying to survive parking lot traffic on a Friday afternoon… we all play a part in keeping America's roads safe.

So this weekend, get ready to help share the road safely during Road Safety Week, June 1–5!

The UMA staff has been on the road! 🚌

Scott joined UMA members at IPW last week to help promote motorcoach travel as one of the best ways to experience destinations across the U.S.

This week, Ken is in Tennessee at the MCASC-GMOA Joint Meeting, speaking about the latest updates from UMA!

Why does speaking with your government representatives matter? Because it gives them direct insight into the issues impacting your business and industry — and helps shape real solutions.
That advocacy is paying off. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recently approved the Build America 250 Act, and several priorities raised by UMA members during our fly-in and ongoing advocacy efforts were addressed in the legislation.

Here's what that means for our industry:
🚌 Current charter service rules remain protected
🚌 Existing financial responsibility (insurance) limits are maintained
🚌 Key parts of The Bus Parity and Clarity Act (H.R. 2526) were included, requiring toll operators to provide the same terms and conditions to motorcoach operators that they offer to public transit.

This is exactly why industry engagement matters. When we speak up together, lawmakers listen.

Want more details on the Build America 250 Act? Check your email for last night's UMA NewsFlash, where we shared a full breakdown of the legislation and what it means for members.

Three key takeaways from UMA’s May Townhall:

🚌 H.R. 7263 — The Safe Intersections for Buses and Pedestrians Act would require new motorcoaches to improve driver visibility and help create safer roadways.

It’s great to see bus companies taking proactive steps to protect passengers by equipping vehicles with AEDs and providing driver training. Efforts like these make a real difference and show what leadership in safety looks like.

A-1 Limousine adds AEDs to buses and trains drivers in CPR, enhancing emergency preparedness and passenger safety across its fleet nationwide.
