Princeton, NJ - On May 13, 2020 A-1 Limousine & sister company Triangle Tours will join
hundreds of motorcoach companies from around the country for a rolling rally around the U.S.
Capitol and National Mall in Washington, D.C.
“Like many local small businesses, my operations have been absolutely devastated by the
coronavirus. 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 when it is
safe 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’s transportation
system,” said Jeffrey Starr president of A-1 Limousine. “I 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.”
The “Motorcoaches Rolling for Awareness” is a joint event between the 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.
Motorcoach operators are seeking to remind Members of Congress and the Trump
Administration that the industry – which has laid off or furloughed more than 90 percent of its
workforce nationally in the wake of COVID-19 – 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.
