ESCOT Bus Lines is proud to be approved for partnership with the University of Vermont Extension’s Green Coach Certification program.

The Green Coach Certification Research initiative (GCC) is part of a multi-year project being developed, in close collaboration with the American Bus Association (ABA) and the United Motorcoach Association (UMA).

This research focuses on the following:

                                        
The idea behind this research is to better understand if a pilot certification program can help the motorcoach industry’s reputation as an environmentally-friendly mode of transportation that can move travelers from place to place while reducing consumption of petroleum fuels and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions.

Currently more than 30 companies from across North America have volunteered to participate in the GCC pilot program. This pilot/field test will help to answer a number of important research questions and provide the foundation for a long-term permanent environmental certification program for the motorcoach industry.
