Commute Solutions partnered with the US Department of Transportation and the Houston-Galveston Area Council to recognize employers who participate in programs, such as Clean Cities/Clean Vehicles, Clean School Bus or Commute Solutions. Over 150 Houston-Galveston area corporations, organizations and local governments have implemented clean fleet policies and encourage their employees to use commute alternatives such as car pooling, teleworking, vanpooling or riding the bus.
The event recognized 45 Clean Air Champions, and two new companies were added to the Best Workplaces for Commuters list. VPSI received the “Best Vanpool Driver Safety Education Program” award. VPSI has over 340 vanpools in service in the Houston-Galveston area.

VPSI recently introduced a new vanpool program at Fort Polk in Louisiana. Coordinated through the base’s Department of Labor team and administered by Mr. Donald Whitaker, the program assists Fort Polk personnel with everyday commuting issues.
“The first vanpool seems to be running very smoothly and everyone is enjoying the program so far, “says Whitaker. “What a great way to make more friends and contacts across the installation. Our program is slowly moving forward and I hope it continues to grow. I enjoy assisting anyone who is interested in the program. Actually helping the people who choose to participate in the MTBP and vanpooling is a nice feeling. Not only are they making new friends and contacts, so am I.” Read More
