Equipped with a wheelchair lift, the 2016 Van Hool CX45 can accommodate two wheelchairs at one time.
Purchased from ABC Companies in Camden, N.J., this is the third 56-passenger motorcoach to be added to Premiere’s fleet, joining the two previously purchased Volvo 9700 models. All three motorcoaches were added to the fleet within an 18-month span.
“When we added the first two motorcoaches, we were striving to meet the demands of our clients and the region,” explained Douglas Rydbom, Sr. Member of Premiere. “The addition of this motorcoach was for the same purpose—accommodating all of our clients and making sure that we provide transportation to anyone in need.”
Passengers of the new handicap-accessible motorcoach will still receive chauffeur-driven services, as with all other vehicles in the fleet.
“We are happy to have a handicap-accessible motorcoach and still be able to provide the same professionalism with our chauffeured services and email updates for each reservation,” said Rydbom. “We want to spread the word about this new addition to our fleet so that we can service those who need it.”

Several months ago, the NLA Board of Directors approved investing in software through VoterVoice, a technology company that aids organizations like the NLA in launching advocacy campaigns.
By using this tool, it is the NLA’s hope that our industry will have a greater voice at the state and federal levels. The association has already received great feedback on its ease of use, and many have already submitted drafted letters to their respective congressmen and senators.
The NLA has done most of the work for you, and the four-step process is simple:
1. Visit the Advocacy Action Center to view the active campaign(s). You will be emailed each time a new campaign launches.
2. Enter your email, zip code, and other contact information. This allows the system to know who you are so that your letter is submitted to your appropriate legislators.
3. The NLA has drafted the letter for you. In some campaigns, you may be encouraged to add or edit your own content or just submit as is.
4. Hit "Send Message" and the letter will be automatically emailed to the appropriate legislators, as the system knows who you and your legislators are. Some campaigns may go to federal lawmakers while others may go to state lawmakers, but all you need to do is hit “Send Message" and the NLA and the system handle the rest.
The NLA is able to make these kinds of efforts and investments because of members’ support through dues and assessment payments. There is power in numbers: By coming together, the NLA hopes to better protect and advance the chauffeured ground transportation industry.
Please encourage your office staff, chauffeurs, and any other employees to not only sign up at limo.org/action-center but also take action on future campaigns.
