​Our Commitment to Go Green

We have implemented the following initiatives to ensure our business practices are green:
​

• Motor Coach Service - We educate our staff and drivers to consume less fuel by idling less. Our company policy is that no bus should idle for more than five minutes. We wash our buses with biodegradable detergents. We also use GPS mapping services to ensure less travel and thus use less fuel.
• Energy Reduction - We strive for our operations to reduce energy consumption in all areas: from the office, to our warehouses and to our mechanic yard. We turn off electric appliances inside our offices, motor coaches and yard when not in use. We use energy efficient appliances and lighting inside our building. We also ensure our entire staff is trained on the importance of reducing energy and reducing our carbon footprint.
• Recycling - We constantly reuse and recycle of parts (when deemed safe) and supplies within our organization.
• Emissions Reduction - Coming soon!
• Bio Fuel Program - We recently began using a combined fuel solution of bio diesel and regular diesel on our motor coaches. Although this initiative results in a greater expense, we stand by our Travel Green Bus Initiative to become a green motor coach leader.
