The 2026 ABA BISC/BusMARC Summer Summit brings together the professionals responsible for keeping motorcoach operations safe, reliable, and moving forward.
Rooted in the longstanding leadership and expertise of BISC and BusMARC, and strengthened this year through the involvement of ABA’s Driving Force Council, the summit expands the conversation across safety, maintenance, operations, workforce development, leadership, and compliance.
Held this year in Pittsburgh, PA, this member-only event features expert-led super sessions, focused concurrent sessions, peer exchange, and off-site educational experiences designed to deliver practical strategies attendees can take back to their organizations immediately.
From regulatory readiness and fleet performance to workforce stability, leadership alignment, insurance pressures, and operational excellence, the summit is built for operators and industry partners looking to strengthen safety culture, support frontline teams, improve decision-making, and stay ahead in a rapidly changing operating environment.
ABA’s national two-day convening serves as the industry’s primary forum for safety, maintenance, compliance, and certification engagement.
