African American Motorcoach Council

About

The American Bus Association created the African American Motorcoach Council (AAMC), which joined the association’s other networking and business councils in 2021.

“ABA created the African American Motorcoach Council after identifying a need among our black-owned motorcoach operator members to have a concentrated, unified voice and lobby on behalf of their businesses,” said Peter Pantuso, ABA’s president & CEO. “While the entire motorcoach industry has been devastated by the COVID pandemic, some sectors and businesses have been hit harder than others. We wanted to give these companies another opportunity to unite within the ABA member community like we have with the Women in Buses and Hispanic Motorcoach Councils and present a united front to help secure additional funding for other motorcoach operators and the industry.”

The AAMC’s main priority is helping the ABA lobby for more federal government funding for the motorcoach industry, especially on behalf of small, family-owned minority businesses.
