A RESOLUTION

Commending the Georgia Motorcoach Operators Association and declaring February 9, 2010, as Georgia Motorcoach Operators Association Day at the state capitol; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, the Georgia Motorcoach Operators Association (GMOA) was established in November, 2001, in order to organize bus owners and operators and enable them to have a collective voice in promoting bus transportation; and

WHEREAS, Georgia's private transportation industry is an important community business partner in both the private and public sectors; and

WHEREAS, for every dollar spent on transportation, between eight and 12 dollars are returned to the local economy; and

WHEREAS, GMOA companies provide charter services to federal, state, and local governments, military bases, colleges and universities, school districts, churches, and businesses; and

WHEREAS, the private transportation industry is a pivotal member of emergency preparedness plans, providing infrastructure rebuilding and evacuation transportation services; and

WHEREAS, private transportation companies make a huge contribution to Georgia's tourism market, pumping millions of dollars annually into the economy of Georgia, with an overnight stay in Georgia bringing in an average of $7,000.00 to $13,000.00 to local economies; and

WHEREAS, the vital role that private transportation plays in the Georgia economy and the dedicated work of the GMOA in representing the private transportation industry are worthy of recognition.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend the Georgia Motorcoach Operators Association for their partnership efforts with the State of Georgia and declare February 9, 2010, as Georgia Motorcoach Operators Association Day at the state capitol.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the Georgia Motorcoach Operators Association.
