From Bus & Motorcoach News:
Best Trails & Travel is celebrating 30 years on the road in signature style — with the addition of two custom-designed Prevost H3-45 motorcoaches that reflect the company's commitment to high-end, personalized service.
The new vehicles, which joined the fleet in May, bring the New York City-based charter company's total to 66 coaches—more than half of which are Prevost models. Unlike standard 56-passenger motorcoaches, the newest additions feature a 33-seat layout designed for maximum comfort, with expanded legroom and a first-class feel.
“We're more than a prestigious transportation company — we're in the experience business,” said Aly Goldenberg, president of Best Trails & Travel. “Our clients expect the best, and we make sure they get it.”..................

The Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) released its updated Capital Needs Inventory (CNI) and Prioritization Report, outlining a strategic roadmap for investment in the agency's multimodal transit infrastructure over the next decade.

The 10-year CNI includes funding projections for major initiatives such as the Frederick Douglass Tunnel, Purple Line, and several MARC Train improvements.
Central to the plan is the MTA's continued focus on eliminating the agency's backlog of deferred maintenance and preservation needs.

The scholarship provides one safety-oriented student transportation professional the opportunity to attend the STN EXPO West conference in Reno, Nevada.
Sands said her introduction to the world of student transportation began with a surprise pregnancy discovered on her 21st birthday while she was in college.
