The Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center serves over 44,000 enrolled veterans in 25 eastern Oklahoma counties. The VAMC includes a hospital and outpatient clinic in Muskogee, a VA-staffed Community Based Outpatient Clinic and a separate Behavioral Health Clinic in Tulsa.
VPSI helped launch a new vanpool program in early September. So far, 72 employees are participating, helping to free up 61 parking spaces.
The program consists of nine vans, plus a loaner for emergencies. Vanpool services extend from Muskogee to Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Eufaula, Tahlequah and Claremore.
“It’s a great opportunity to work with the VAMC, helping them launch their vanpool program,” said VPSI’s Alice Lee-Cook. “We were able to organize several vanpool groups commuting into Muskogee, and one group with a reverse commute to Tulsa.”
“Feedback from vanpool riders is very positive so far,” said Reggie Hardy, Vanpool Coordinator. “The vanpoolers enjoy not having to drive their own automobiles to work and hunt for parking spaces. They also like the savings the program provides.”
