American Bus Association Announces Planned Headquarters Relocation to Capitol Hill
Strategic Move Aims to Optimize Resources and Enhance Member Value Creation
The American Bus Association (ABA), a leading voice in North America’s motorcoach, charter bus, group travel, and tourism industries, is pleased to announce that it will relocate its headquarters to a new, centrally located space on Washington D.C.’s Capitol Hill, just steps away from the United States House of Representatives and the United States Department of Transportation. The move, scheduled for April 1, 2025, is part of ABA’s ongoing efforts to rightsize its workspace, optimize operational efficiency, and refocus resources on creating value for its membership.
With 75% of its current office space underutilized, ABA has decided to strategically divest its existing real estate holdings. The asset’s sale will free up significant resources, allowing ABA to invest more directly in initiatives that support its mission of helping members grow their businesses and creating a better regulatory and legislative environment for motorcoach and charter bus operators and the group travel industry.
“This strategic relocation marks a significant milestone in ABA’s plans for expanding member value creation,” said Terry Fischer, Chairman of the Board of the American Bus Association. “By strategically rightsizing our headquarters, we ensure that ABA remains agile and better positioned to focus on what truly matters—supporting our members and driving the future of the motorcoach, charter bus, and group travel industry. Our new space will also enhance our presence on Capitol Hill, allowing us to work more closely with policymakers and regulators to create a better operating landscape for our members. I’m confident this relocation will open new doors for ABA and strengthen our ability to serve the industry for years to come.”
The new headquarters will offer a modern, collaborative environment that reflects ABA’s commitment to innovation and team development. Its proximity to key government agencies will enhance the association’s ability to engage with policymakers on critical issues affecting the group travel industry.
“Our planned relocation to Capitol Hill represents a pivotal step forward for ABA,” said Fred Ferguson, President and CEO of the American Bus Association. “Rightsizing our real estate footprint enables significant investments in ABA staff and programming, allowing us to support our membership better. By optimizing our workspace, we will also create a more modern workplace environment that can better support the needs of our dynamic team, recruit top talent, and enhance our abilities to advocate for policies that help our members succeed in today’s challenging regulatory landscape.”
Until the official move is completed in spring 2025, ABA’s current mailing address and phone number will remain unchanged for all communications, mailings, and inquiries. ABA will provide further updates regarding our new address, mailing procedures, or any other information that members and outside stakeholders may require as the move progresses.
