Bill > HRes318

This resolution expresses support for designating the week of April 24-29, 2025, as "Small Businesses in For-Hire Transportation Week" to recognize the significant contributions of small businesses in the for-hire transportation industry. The resolution highlights that this sector comprises over 18,300 locally owned companies in the United States, employing 276,250 drivers and nearly one million additional workers, with approximately 50 percent of the workforce being minorities. These businesses provide critical transportation services, moving over 2 billion people annually through various modes such as nonemergency medical transportation, taxicabs, limousines, paratransit, and shuttles. The resolution emphasizes the industry's essential role during the COVID-19 pandemic, serving small businesses, families, hospital personnel, patients, and communities with limited transportation options. It also recognizes the Transportation Alliance's efforts in supporting small business entrepreneurs and underscores the economic importance of these local businesses in creating jobs and maintaining community investments. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives aims to honor the commitment and essential services of small businesses in the for-hire transportation industry and acknowledge their efforts to promote safety and support local communities.
