How bus operators benefit from an ABA membership

Built for the realities of running a motorcoach business

For companies running charter, tour, shuttle, or line-run bus services, ABA connects you with the insights, support, and industry relationships you need to reduce downtime, stay compliant, and grow your business.

ABA membership is designed to address the day-to-day realities of running a motorcoach business—helping you manage operations, navigate regulations, and find new opportunities to grow.

Membership Advantages

Fuel Tax Rebates Made Easy

Thanks to the American Bus Association’s advocacy, motorcoach operators can receive a $0.17-per-gallon federal fuel tax credit when using undyed diesel or kerosene. ABA helped secure this benefit and continues to work to keep it in place.

If your company hasn’t filed before, you may even be able to claim credits for up to three years back. Use the calculator to see how much you could be saving.

Get the support your business needs to run stronger and grow faster.
