About the Keynote Address
“Safety isn’t just a priority for bus operators. It’s the foundation of every tour and every travel experience. It matters to the company transporting passengers, the tour operator planning the itinerary, and the destination welcoming visitors,” said Fred Ferguson, President and CEO of the ABA. “By bringing Administrator Barrs and transportation leaders together with the broader travel industry at Marketplace, we’re making safety a shared priority. When we work together to protect travelers and strengthen public confidence, the entire travel and tourism industry benefits.”
