Vanpool Vanpool Seat Finder Start End Register Now Already Registered Vanpools are a good choice for groups of commuters who live and work near each other and travel more than 15 miles to work one-way. Passengers split a low monthly fare, and share a van that can range from a minivan seating 7 up to a full size van seating 15. Vanpool is a partnership between DRCOG and the Regional Transportation District (RTD). RideArrangers contracts with VPSI to manage its Vanpool program. If you would like fare information, have five or more people who wish to start a new vanpool, or have questions, contact Nick Sands or Corey Taylor at 303-333-3640 or email nick.sands@vpsiinc.com or corey.taylor@vpsiinc.com.

How vanpool works: A group of 5 to 15 people share a ride to work in a van dedicated to their commute, for a monthly fare based on commuting distance. The monthly fare and fuel are split among the passengers in the van. All vans commuting within the RTD district receive a subsidy to reduce the total fare. Vanpool riders volunteer to drive, track maintenance, submit paperwork and collect fares. Volunteer vanpool drivers must be at least 25 years of age, pass a motor vehicle check, and sign a driver agreement. Approved drivers are covered under VPSI insurance. The program provides the van, maintenance and repairs, insurance, fuel, bike racks and the Guaranteed Ride Home.

Choose to relax and enjoy the ride. Vanpoolers have choices and SO DO YOU! What is a vanpool? A vanpool is a group seven to fifteen people who commute together to and from work in a late model 12- or 15-passenger van. The van is provided on a month-to-month basis by The TMA Group. Insurance, maintenance and repairs, license and registration are provided by The TMA Group. The riders share the monthly operating costs. How much does it cost? Monthly costs vary based upon the number of miles traveled and the number of riders in the vanpool. The average cost of vanpooling in Middle Tennessee is $85 plus actual fuel usage. In addition, your employer can offer a commuter benefits program that includes vanpooling to further reduce your monthly commuting costs. Under the Internal Revenue Code Section 132(f)(2)(A), Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefit, your employer can: (1) Provide you a tax-free benefit for vanpooling up to $230 per month (federal employees and certain other private and public employees are provided this benefit) ; or (2) Provide you with the option to designate a portion of salary before taxes (pretax income) to pay for your monthly vanpool expenses. Who drives? One member of the vanpool group agrees to become the primary driver; there must be one or more other members of the group who agree to become an alternate driver in the event the primary driver is not available. A vanpool driver must be at least 25 years of age, hold a current and valid driver's license, and a good driving record. What is t

Maryland & Virginia Telework How can municipal and regional governments best promote telework? This case study highlights the telework program that originated in the Washington DC area in 1996, and the state-wide program that was subsequently established in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The later offers cost reimbursement (up to $35,000 per business), free personal assistance, and promotional "Telework Days." Both programs help overcome key policy and adoption barriers, and both have impressive impact data. Background This case study focuses on telework initiatives in the region of Washington, DC, which covers the District of Columbia and surrounding jurisdictions (counties and cities within Maryland and Virginia). In 2010, the region had about 2.8 million workers and the regional forecast is to add 1.2 million new jobs to the region by 2030. Such growth forecasts will impact the region's transportation infrastructure. Commuter Connections, a regional network of transportation organizations coordinated by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG), started in 1974 to provide mobility solutions in the region. The network is administered through the Regional Metropolitan Planning Organization, part of the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB)   Setting Objectives The Commonwealth set a goal of having 20% of its eligible workforce [approximately 105,000 employees) teleworking by 2010. Getting Informed "Dating back to the late 1980s, the TPB conducted a series of reviews of telecommuting pilot programs, which were in operation in Los Angeles and in Arlington County, Virginia," explained Nicholas Ramfos, Commuter Connection's Alternative Commute Programs Director. "These programs were primarily started at the local government level with the idea that lessons learned could be shared with the rest of the businesses in those jurisdictions and beyond." The TPB also reviewed the federal government's Flexiplace progr

commuter websitesEntradax  Jeffrey Chernick jeff@rideamigos.com por  lists.cutr.usf.edu 21:00 (19 horas atrás) para Transp-tdm, Transp-tdm Hi all! Here is the site we have built and currently manage for the Century City TMO in Los Angeles, CA:  Screenshots: Homepage; SearchWebsite: www.Commute90067.com As compared to most commuter sites, its multi-modal trip planner compares all forms of transportation - walking, biking, driving, public transit, and carpooling/vanpooling options, all sorted by company, building, and region.  Each choice displays the cost - time - CO2 - health benefit analysis of each mode, educating the user on the most effective mode for their specific commute. The system is complimented by a personal commute dashboard, which tracks, manages, and records these trips for commuters, employers, and municipalities, an incentive module for monthly competitions, and AQMD/LEED survey modules. Within four months of the site's launch, 40 companies representing over 4,100 employees were registered.  After only six months in operation, the platform showed a 35 percent reduction in solo drivers participating in the program, and a 44 percent reduction after ten months.  It also displayed an impressive increase in all alternative modes of transportation (e.g., walking/ biking/ carpool); with walking trips boasting nearly a 170 percent increase over a 10 month period. Feel free to connect! With Gratitude,Jeffrey --Jeffrey L. ChernickChief Executive OfficerRideAmigosCorp.com516.864.3189 ~ We are the future of transportation ~
