Coming Events Motorcoach Council will exhibit at the 2010 ABA Marketplace, IMG shareholder meeting and 2010 UMA Expo. Our GoalOur Goal
To educate and covert plane, train, and automobile drivers into coach passengers through the use of a strategic public awareness and educational outreach campaign, which communicates the luxury amenities, conveniences and ecological attributes only a coach provides. If we effectively reposition the motorcoach and increase ridership by just 1-2 percent, we'll clean up our planet, foster community development and create new employment opportunities across N. America. Go Coach!Go Coach!
Motorcoaches are safer, quieter and more comfortable than virtually any other form of passenger transportation. They can conveniently pick you up anywhere there's asphalt, and deliver you without the hassles expected at airports or train stations. Coaches provide modern entertainment systems, and trump automobile travel with the ultimate answer to "Are we there yet?" You guessed it...the lavatory. Next time, go coach! Go Green!Go Green!
Motorcoaches drastically reduce air, ground, water, and noise pollution. Motorcoaches take 425 million cars off U.S. roads each year. Motorcoaches deliver more than 146 passenger miles per gallon of fuel. (source www.buses.org) Save Money!Save Money
