VPSI Local Offices, the VPSI Call Center and the VPSI Home Office sometimes receive calls from other drivers (citizens) or, on a rare occasion, even one of the vanpool passengers. These callers may be reporting a vehicle operating in a manner that is not indicative of the safe and defensive manner the vast majority of all vanpool drivers practice on a daily basis.

Next time you visit VPSI’s vpsiinc.com or vanride.com, you’ll notice a new look and feel. The website has been developed to focus on our broad range of capabilities and world class leadership in the industry.
It also allows for easy navigation between the family of sites that make up our web presence - including our Blog, Facebook and Twitter pages.
For customers used to the broad range of features associated with our original website – they’re still available too. Bookmarks you have for our Customer Extranet, Pay On Line, and CommuterBucks applications will still work. And we’ve made it easy to navigate to those features from the new website, as illustrated below:
We’re proud of our new look and feel and invite you to visit our site.

We don’t have to tell you vanpooling is the greatest thing to happen to commuting since air conditioning, but you’ll inevitably have to slide back behind the wheel of your own vehicle when it’s time for vacation – unless you get consensus among your regular van mates that Myrtle Beach is some place you all want to visit on spring break.
With that not likely being the case (and be sure to let us know if it is!), we’re launching with this post the first in a series of destination road trips that spotlight great stretches of the American highway and the sights, experiences and landmarks along them. And with this being edition number one, it’s appropriate to start with Route 1 – specifically, the stretch of U.S. between Key Largo, Florida and Key West. Read More
At last count, there were almost 110,000 “apps” for the ubiquitous iPhone, with several thousand of them devoted to traveling and getting around. The boss wouldn’t approve the time to try out all of them, but we did give more than a few a test run. Not surprisingly, some were better than others – and some were way better.
Below are five of the coolest apps we found that make traveling a little easier and more fun. If you’ve discovered your own, share them with us and the rest of your fellow vanpoolers!
1. Where – It’s one of the most popular travel-related apps and for good reason – Where is a virtual travel guide that provides detailed information on restaurants, gas stations and tourist spots all overlaid on a GPS-located map. If you’re in an unfamiliar city, it is an invaluable resource that helps you get around and find the best things to see. Better yet, it’s a free app.
2. Monocle – Here’s the deal: Take an iPhone 3G S uploaded with Yelp’s latest app and shake it three times. That activates the Monocle feature, which provides on-screen information for just about anything the phone is pointed at – be it the Golden Gate Bridge or a corn field. It’s not all-knowing, but it’s fascinating to see what it recognizes and the information it calls up. Read More
