PRA TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INTEGRATES LOCAL KNOWLEDGE WITH TEAM OF NATIONAL SHUTTLE EXPERTS, PROVIDING CLIENTS WITH A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT FOR MULTI-YEAR, MULTI-CITY PROGRAMS

 

CARSLBAD, Calif., January 2010 – PRA Destination Management, Inc. has announced the expansion of PRA Transportation Services in response to client demand for multi-city and multi-year shuttle programs in each of its 20 US locations, according to Doyle J. Girouard, CEO of Allied International/PRA Destination Management, Inc.

 

PRA Transportation Services unites a local and national team of shuttle and transportation experts to advise clients on routing, service efficiency and environmental impact. In addition, clients have one point of contact with relevant knowledge of their shuttle needs providing consistent service from location to location, thus saving clients time in the shuttle and transportation planning process. The result for the client is an experienced transportation team that understands the nuances of the city, knows the ins and outs of the local motorcoach companies and does not incur additional travel expenses, since all services are handled locally.

 

"Based on needs identified by our valued clients, combined with our award-winning transportation services already in place, we've used our best practices to expand our local transportation offerings," Girouard commented. "PRA Transportation Services connects clients nationally with expert shuttle specialists. Clients benefit from our powerful relationships with local motorcoach companies, hotel contacts, and city and state government agencies. These relationships allow PRA to quickly assess any client need and design the most comprehensive, cost-effective transportation program for any size group. This expanded national service is offered as an addition to PRA's premier DMC services."

 

With PRA's extensive national presence, carbon footprint tracking tools, reliable service offerings from each location and intimate local knowledge of the destinations, PRA clients receive consistent, experience-driven transportation and shuttle programs for any destination. Clients benefit from significant cost-savings while gaining access to a range of value-added benefits only a DMC like PRA provides. PRA Transportation Services offers clients comprehensive shuttle systems, customized site and route maps, arrival and departure services, event transfers, sponsorship and branding opportunities, program logistics, local staffing and city agency coordination and site inspection services. In addition, PRA Destination Management is the leading DMC to offer carbon footprint calculation as a courtesy and value-added benefit for all its transportation programs. By utilizing this calculation tool, PRA clients can base mark their carbon footing as it relates to all transportation and shuttle service programs, in an effort to help reduce costs and manage energy consumption and emissions.
