Remembering the rules of the road

How long has it been since you've taken a driver’s test? Do you ever feel like you need a refresher? As a ground transportation provider we are not only concerned with our own driving but those we share the road with. So, for the past year we have been posting driving tips every Tuesday “Traffic Tip Tuesday”. One of our favorites was a link to an online practice driving test. We invite you to use the link below to take the test and see how you do. Although we all try to practice safe driving it never hurts to get a refresher on rules of the road. We will work to include our Traffic Tip Tuesday’s here on the blog as well. Safe travels!

#WarriorOpen Golf Tournament

We were selected as the transportation provider for the #WarriorOpen golf tournament in 2012 and 2013! This event was created by President George W. Bush and is a way to bring wounded veterans from the War on Terror together.  We provided shuttle services to and from the Irving Convention Center and Las Colinas Country Club, where the tournament was held. It is a true honor to give back to those that have bravely served our country. We hope that this event continues for years to come and that we have the privilege to provide our services to those that are in attendance. 

Where Do We Work?

Depending on whether you've visited our website you may or may not already know all of the information in today’s post. As previously mentioned ATT is a ground transportation management company, specializing in conventions, events and tradeshows. We have been in business since 1985 and have a combined 65 plus years of experience. Our office is centrally located in the DFW Metroplex but we work nationwide. Perhaps you have an event or convention in Anaheim, Canada or Florida…we CAN help you! Under our “About Us” page is our “Events” page, check out the locations we have worked in before as well as the client feedback on the far right. We are in the transportation industry because we like to travel! If you don’t see a particular city, state or providence on our list, do not worry we can still provide you with excellent services.

Halloween Safety

Halloween is a little over a week away! As we all know the evening is filled with excitement, costumes and of course trick or treating. Halloween is an evening to be extra cautious while driving and walking. We highly doubt you could get away with changing your child's costume but what you can do is add reflective tape to the costume. The tape allows headlights to more easily see a child in the dark. Also, if you aren't accompanying your child trick or treating, remind them to look both ways prior to crossing the street. We would suggest taking a flashlight as well for better visibility. Have a safe and fun HALLOWEEN!

Bus Charter Services

The title of our blog might be deceiving. If you think we only do convention and event ground transportation, we've got a surprise for you! We also do bus charters, whether it’s a corporate dinner or outing, sporting event or simply a trip about town with a group of friends and family. American Transfers and Tours owns a corporate fleet of minibuses. The passenger counts range from 24 to 28 with ADA accessibility. If your group is bigger or smaller there is no need to look elsewhere. We serve as a broker when using equipment outside of our own.

What is Ground Transportation?

What is ground transportation management? When we think about explaining what’s involved in a ground transportation plan, it makes next to no sense. There are so many elements that make up fluid convention/event ground transportation we have a hard time finding a concise description. We want you to know what we do, in the below bullet points you can get an idea.

1.      Assess your ground transportation needs

2.      Allocate the equipment and pricing to best fit your budget

3.      Develop routing based on hotels, room blocks, type of shuttle service and event locations

4.      Create and place signage for routes and schedules

5.      Provide on-site traffic management

6.      Utilize trained and uniformed staff, familiar with the event location

7.      Airport Meet & Greet

8.      VIP services (keynote speakers, celebrity guests, etc.) to and from airport as well as any other transfers

Celebrating a Birthday at American Transfers and Tours

We are celebrating the birthday of Arthur, one of our lead drivers. He has been with the company since 1998. Every year on his birthday he picks the same place to go have lunch, Babe’s Chicken Dinner House. The food is great! But what we like most is the opportunity to have the entire staff together, sharing memories and talking about business in a casual setting. It is interesting how a change of environment and a little food can change the perspective on a typical conversation had right in the office. Birthdays are special, not only to the person who made it another year but to those that are part of an individual’s life. We are very thankful for each member of our staff and celebrating their birthday is just one way of showing them how much we all care!
