Our History

The history of who we are and who we serve.

Since 1998, the North West Motorcoach Association has given motorcoach companies a venue to pursue excellence in the industry. Our dedicated board and members work together to provide information that assists all operators, large and small, in their daily business success.

The association is a resource for members on compliance with regulatory agencies: the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, state highway patrols, departments of motor vehicles, the American Bus Association (ABA), the United Motorcoach Association (UMA) and others.
