The National Limousine Association (NLA) is collaborating with the University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) at the City University of New York to develop a report on the current state of insurance throughout the US and propose measures to reduce costs.
Recently, the NLA shared an important survey to gather valuable insights into industry insurance practices from chauffeured transportation operators. Your feedback is critical to understand the current commercial auto insurance landscape and can help shape future initiatives and support for our industry. By sharing your experiences and insights, you will contribute to a better understanding of our industry's challenges and needs.
“I encourage all of you to take a few minutes to complete this very important survey,” says NLA President Brett Barenholtz of Above All/Maine Limousine. “The NLA is taking the lead on gathering industry data that we hope will directly impact the insurance landscape and possibly ease the burden of the rising premiums we all feel every day.”

In other NLA news, the association is pleased to announce eight scholarship winners for the 2025 Day on the Hill, held April 28 and 29 in Washington, D.C. The winner operators were recognized through their exceptional dedication to the NLA and the industry, as well as a passion for advocacy.
