Interested in subcontracting your bus to the Gathering while you're in New Orleans? Read on...
 

The Gathering would like to subcontract your bus while you are in New Orleans.

Each day of the Gathering 12,000 participants will be venturing into the city of New Orleans for service experiences. For safety, stewardship, and environmental reasons, all transportation to the service sites will be provided by the Gathering and coordinated by the Justice Travel Crew.

This is a massive task, and we need your help! This may also be an opportunity to reduce your bus rental or lease costs with your bus vendor. We need 300 busses each day to move people between service sites in the city. There are not enough busses available in the New Orleans area, so the Justice Travel Crew is asking congregations and synods that will be renting or leasing busses to subcontract their busses to the Gathering on July 23, 24 and 25, 2009. (This would be an arrangement made with your bus company.)

  • If your congregation or synod will be traveling by bus, please fill in the information on the bus information form (fillable PDF). Before filling in the information, please contact your bus company to see if they are willing to subcontract your bus(ses).
     
  • Please answer all the questions on the form and mail or fax it to the address on the form (same as below). It is helpful if you fill out this form even if your company is NOT willing to subcontract busses.
