We are GREEN

Fuel Consumption
 240 passenger miles per gallon of fuel
 Lowest carbon footprint among 12 different forms of transportation
 One couple traveling on a motorcoach will generate 50% less global warming pollutants
than driving by car
 EPA Regulations have our diesel engines cleaner than ever before
 New Generation of Diesel
 Cleaner Diesel Fuel
 Advanced Engines
 Effective Emissions Control Technology

Congestion Reduction
 One motorcoach carries an average of 36 people = 36 cars off the road
 If these passengers chose an automobile instead, 65 billion miles would be added to our
congested roads
 $544 million is saved annually by alleviating congestion on local roads, city streets, and major arteries by removing cars from travel lanes and adding productivity to the workforce

United Motorcoach Association Fly-In

April 17-18 John and I attended the UMA’s Fly-In. What is a Fly-In? A Fly-In is when you fly to DC and meet with the offices of your elected officials. We met with all SIX of Iowa’s members AND a bonus visit with a Senator from NE – being neighborly. 

Our talking points: 1) CERTS tax fix (still trying) 2) Keeping the charter rule in force (Public transit cannot complete “charter” work for hire – that work is for private companies, not public entities subsidized by the government.) 

You are invited to join your industry friends and colleagues of Iowa’s tourism industry for the iTIP Summer Celebration. The event includes the Mini Golf Tournament, Annual Meeting, and Awards Ceremony throughout Sunday, June 11 and Monday, June 12. Let’s celebrate another year of growth and fellowship amongst the tourism industry!
