1,300 bus & passenger vessel companies—including 11 in Maine—received $1.6 billion in COVID-19 relief. @SenJackReed & I authored this grant program, which will help these businesses weather the economic downturn that hit their industries especially hard.

Update on this: @SenJackReed asked @SecYellen about aid for the motorcoach at a hearing yesterday. She basically acknowledged the delays, and said the agency is working on it.
Sam Mintz@samjmintz16 Mar 2021
The 2nd relief bill passed in December included $2b in emergency help for several industries including motorcoach companies + passenger vessel operators. Nearly 3 months later, Treasury is still figuring out how to distribute. And it could be months more before the money goes out

Thank you @RepLhood and @RepSires for leading this letter to help our industry recover. To date CUSA has not received any COVID relief and we need help!

@RepLaHood17 Mar 2021
My bipartisan CERTS Act, which was signed into law, will help the motorcoach industry & workers as they navigate COVID-19. I led 70+ colleagues to urge the Treasury Department to swiftly implement our bill. This will ensure transportation service providers are ready as we reopen.
