2 3 HeaderThank You to Our Sponsors! Welcome

Gold Sponsors Welcome! Thank you for attending the 18th annual BusCon event. This is the eighth year we have been here in great city of Chicago, and while it has been a fantastic ride, we will be taking our show on the road and setting up camp in Indianapolis for 2014. Have no fear, however, as Silver sponsors Official Host Dealer we will be bidding our fond farewell in style, with huge networking events planned, including the Welcome Reception at The Signature Room at the 95th in the John Hancock Center and the Caribbean Nights Reception at The Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier. Over the eight years BusCon has been in Chicago, much has General sponsors changed in the industries we serve, but nothing has had quite the impact of the surface transportation bill signed in July 2012, dubbed Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Aside from providing funding for key transportation programs, MAP-21 also created new standards to strengthen vehicle and passenger safety, replace aging public transit infrastructure, and create unprecedented levels of cooperation between the public and private industries.

Dpnnjuufe!up!npwjoh!qfpqmf!bifbe!??? It is with these new programs in mind that we are leveling the playing field amongst passenger transportation modes by offering six additional hours of top-notch educational workshops, including our popular University Track. We are also focusing this year on issues Supporting organizations regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act, with sessions that will discuss how to prepare for the increased financial demand of paratransit transportation and best practices for providing this growing segment with the mobility they deserve. Finally, we are also going big on the show floor. We have more bus manufacturers than ever who plan to feature vehicles using a wide array of propulsion systems including electric, natural gas and propane. Be sure to walk the show floor to also stay plugged-in on all the latest products that can enhance the life of your vehicles, improve your customer’s experience and positively impact your bottom line. It takes much work to bring together the many facets of the bus industry, and we would like to thank the many prominent organizations that have partnered with us to help produce this special event as well as our many corporate sponsors. We sincerely appreciate their support. Enjoy your time at BusCon in Chicago, a city that holds many fond memories. Kind regards, lead media sponsor media sponsors
