VPSI celebrated a Vanpool Driver Appreciation Day at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR). About 46 representatives from current vanpool groups and the transportation team attended to enjoy pizza and soda.
WSMR, located 45 miles north of El Paso, Texas, launched its program a year ago with three vanpool groups. Since then, it has grown to 30 vans, with three new starts planned in December.
The WSMR vanpool program contributes to a monthly fuel savings of $45,493, reducing 186 tons of CO2 emissions and eliminating 6,287 commute trips from the roads. Read More

2009 marked the beginning of a Regional Vanpool program called “Alaska Share A Van.” This is a coordinated effort between 
Anchorage’s Share-A-Ride program, their vanpool provider VPSI and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
As a kick off to get the word out and to thank the existing customers VPSI and Anchorage Share-A-Ride held a customer appreciation picnic on July 18, 2009.
It was a sunny beautiful day in Wasilla at Newcomb Park. Yes, that’s the same place Sarah Palin is from; however we did not see Russia from the picnic site. KMBQ Valley Radio was there, broadcasting live throughout the event. Vanpoolers were everywhere and brought their families (and appetites) along. Read More
