Motorcoach Companies Helping Communities Devastated by Hurricane Helene

Hurricane Helene has left widespread destruction, impacting thousands of families and communities along the Atlantic Coast. Now, more than ever, our efforts can make a difference. Several motorcoach companies are stepping up to provide essential support, supplies, and aid to help these communities recover. Join us in this relief effort by donating or volunteering.

How You Can Help

You can get involved in the following ways:

  • Monetary Donations: Financial contributions go directly toward providing essentials like food, water, and shelter for those affected. You can donate directly to local relief organizations.
  • Supply Donations: Essential items like bottled water, canned goods, hygiene products, blankets, and first aid supplies are urgently needed. Find local drop-off points where you can bring these much-needed supplies.
  • Volunteer: Consider volunteering your time to help distribute supplies or assist with rebuilding efforts. Local organizations and motorcoach companies are organizing efforts to transport volunteers and supplies to the affected areas.

The American Bus Association (ABA) – the industry leader advancing North American motorcoach travel and tourism – congratulates new Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on his confirmation.

“We are looking forward to working with Secretary Buttigieg and his team to continue keeping motorcoach travel the safest and greenest form of surface transportation,” said Peter Pantuso, ABA president & CEO. “2021 will be a pivotal year for the industry as we try to comeback from the devastation wreaked by the pandemic on our businesses. We look to Secretary Buttigieg’s leadership and support to ensure every American has access to reliable and safe transportation like the motorcoach industry.”

During the 2020 pandemic, nearly half of the 3,000 small, family-owned private motorcoach companies are in danger of going bankrupt and more than 80 percent of its workforce furloughed. A once vibrant industry which contributed more than $15 billion to the U.S. economy only generated $2.6 billion in 2020
