13th Annual Motorcoach Safety & Preparedness Workshop

August 20, 2026

Description

Thank You for Joining us in York Springs, PA!

PBA members and industry partners gathered on August 20 at the York Springs Fire Hall in York Springs, PA for the 13th Annual PBA Motorcoach Safety & Preparedness Workshop. The workshop was a full day focused on practical education, operational guidance, regulatory updates, and peer-to-peer learning.

Tammy Wolf-Baker, Wolf's Bus Lines welcomed everyone to the workshop. The morning featured presentations from FMCSA representatives Christopher Henry and Gregory Olsen, and PennDOT representatives Heather Proudfoot and Tanya Cooper. Attendees then participated in targeted breakout sessions covering preventative maintenance, Coach Manager Cloud Preview, PM schedules, batteries, tires and brakes, accident management, and customer service best practices, with contributions from ABC, MCI, Prevost, Distinctive Systems, Saucon Technologies, and Bailey Coach.

The workshop also offered valuable opportunities to connect with fellow attendees and sponsors through tabletop displays, motorcoach showcases, and informal networking throughout the day. Attendees enjoyed lunch prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary, along with door prizes and the annual 50/50 raffle. PBA thanks all of the presenters, sponsors and attendees who helped make this year’s workshop another successful day of education, collaboration, and industry engagement.
