NORTHEAST 2006 Adds Shuttle Bus Service
The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ)’s annual flagship event, NORTHEAST 2006, will be adding a shuttle bus service for its attendees and exhibitors this year. The show, held March 24, 25 and 26 at the Rockland Community College Arena in Suffern, NY, is the largest regional show of its kind and will present everything under the automotive repair sun through “Innovation, Technology and Training.”
“Every year we try and add new things to improve the show,” AASP/NJ President Tom Elder says. “Since our show is regionally-driven, over the years, as the show has grown, we noticed that many attendees would have to walk a distance due to the large number of people who drive to the show. To that end, this year we wanted to make it that much easier for those attendees and exhibitors by hiring a shuttle bus service that will pick them up and bring them to the front door of the show and back to their cars.”
The shuttle will run continuously throughout the three-day event, making commuting to NORTHEAST easier than ever. “Once this idea was presented to us, we knew we wanted to be a part of it,” says Dave Demarest, Jr., of Metropolitan Car-O-Liner, who will be co-sponsoring (with AASP/NJ) the shuttle. “As a long-time exhibitor, we have heard many suggestions from attendees over the years and the shuttle bus idea always seemed to be one that came up regularly. We think it’s a concept that will add to an already prestigious show.”
