My buses sit idling while my employees remain at home. We all want to be back on the road, bringing people from point A to point B while serving our communities again. Without help from the federal government, I fear our buses may never return to the road and our passengers will be stranded without access to the nation\u2019s transportation system,\u201d said Charlita Atchison Moss. \u201cI look forward to joining hundreds of my fellow motorcoach operators in Washington to showcase the strength in numbers of our industry and the positive benefits we provide to every community in America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<a href=\"http:\/\/www.busesmoveamerica.com\/\">\u201cMotorcoaches Rolling for Awareness\u201d<\/a>is a one day, one time grassroots event born from independent motorcoach operators, industry suppliers and state associations, represented by a joint initiative between the nation\u2019s two largest associations, American Bus Association and United Motorcoach Association. This is a positive event showcasing how big buses and small businesses move America. Buses will be decorated with informative signs about the motorcoach industry including: the groups they serve, the economic impact they make and the people they employ.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Motorcoach operators are seeking to remind Members of Congress and the Trump Administration that the industry \u2013 which has laid off or furloughed more than 90 percent of its workforce nationally in the wake of COVID-19 \u2013 needs federal assistance. The motorcoach industry has requested $15 billion in federal grants and loan guarantees and modifications to Economic Injury Disaster Loan and Paycheck Protection Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"about:blank\"><strong>About the USA Motorcoach Industry<\/strong><\/a>:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Companies:<\/strong>&nbsp;nearly 3,000, the majority are family owned, small businesses.<br><strong>Employees:<\/strong>&nbsp;nearly 100,000.
