“With the devastation of Hurricane Harvey leaving many stranded and in need of assistance, we felt it was our duty, as fellow Americans, to do anything we can to try and help the people there,” said Angelo DiMarco, President of Marketing & IT at Premier Limousine. “We’re honored to be involved in the Pack the Truck initiative and, with the help of our community, hope we can provide some relief for the people of Houston.”
Donation items included nonperishable food, lightly used clothing, unopened personal hygiene products, household items (including air mattresses, but not including furniture) and baby products. Premier Limousine had a silver 30-passenger limo bus parked at New Britain Stadium and donated two pallets of bottled water—approximately 3,400 bottles.
“On behalf of the Springer Family, we encourage your support for the victims of the devastation in Houston,” said Springer. “We appreciate your generosity in this time of need.”
Other local organizations that partnered in the donation efforts include A-1 Automotive & Transmission and the Connecticut Blue Jays AAU travel baseball team.
After the Pack the Truck event at New Britain Stadium, the Bees hosted the Sugar Land Skeeters for a doubleheader. Anyone who donated received a voucher to the doubleheader. The Bees staff were also on hand, and will continue to collect monetary donations at each game for the remainder of the regular season.
“Our hearts are with all that have been affected by the flooding in Texas,” said New Britain Bees majority owner Anthony Iacovone. “We hope that others will join New Britain in giving something to help the residents of Houston and the surrounding areas get through this terrible time.”
The Pack the Truck initiative to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey that Premier Limousine was involved in last week was a huge success! Some local TV stations covered the event, and here are links to their videos:

Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee and House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, urged clarity and a level playing field when it comes to landside transportation at our nation’s airports. With deliberation underway of legislation to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration, the coalition is asking Chairman John Thune (R-S.D.) and Ranking Member Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) of the Senate Commerce Committee and Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) and Ranking Member Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to consider landside transportation issues.
“Ground transportation has become an increasingly important topic given the growing number of stakeholders seeking access to the airport’s limited curb space to provide efficient transportation alternatives for travelers. Our associations strongly believe it is in the best interests of the traveling public and the airports seeking to manage their limited curb space that transportation policy be formulated with the realization that private enterprises must have the ability to (1) compete on a level playing field free from undue and discriminatory regulatory burdens and (2) continue to grow and participate in private investment.”
Nationwide, private motorcoach operators are facing barriers to landside access of federally funded airports. This includes inequitable access such as inconvenient and inconsistent drop-off and pickup locations, as well as exorbitant fees.
The coalition urges the creation of a working group led by the Department of Transportation’s Undersecretary for Policy to study the effectiveness of achieving those goals already set forth in Section 47101 of the U.S. Code - encouraging intermodal connections on airport properties to serve passengers efficiently as well as promoting economic development, economic productivity and global competitiveness.
