H.Res. 318 is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional support for designating April 24-29, 2025, as "Small Businesses in For-Hire Transportation Week." The resolution honors the for-hire transportation industry, which includes over 18,300 small, locally owned companies that employ roughly 276,250 drivers and nearly one million additional workers in roles like mechanics and administrative staff. These businesses transport over two billion people annually through services like taxicabs, limousines, medical transportation, and shuttle services, with a workforce that is approximately 50 percent minority. The resolution acknowledges the industry's essential role in serving vulnerable populations and communities, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, and recognizes organizations like the Transportation Alliance that support entrepreneurs in this sector. This resolution does not allocate funding or create new requirements—it simply encourages recognition of the industry's contributions to local economies and public transportation needs.
