August 4th, 2010 0 Comments
Orange, California – Employees of CareFusion’s Yorba Linda facility are the first vanpool on the road. Tach Sirichai, Jose Vicencio, Roscoe Woody, Cynthia Poillot, and Merritt Girgis met with Tracy McConnell from VPSI and within two weeks formed their vanpool group.
The group had the same work schedule and lived within the same area so determining their route from Murrieta to Lake Elsinore and stopping in Orange was finalized with everyone’s input. The group is ecstatic about cutting their commuting cost in half and will recruit additional passengers for an even greater savings. Read More

The National Defense Industrial Association’s Environment, Energy, Security & Sustainability Symposium and Exhibition (E2S2) opened at the Denver Convention Center yesterday and many of the nearly 1,100 attendees flocked to VPSI’s booth to learn more about sustainable transportation solutions like vanpooling. With about 1,100 vanpools in service at 96 military installations around the country, many of the conference attendees were familiar with VPSI’s program but few realized VPSI captured and reported the environmental benefits that result from the program. Mr. Herman Varmall, Environmental Department Head at the Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Maryland, observed that collecting and reporting the environmental benefits of the carpools and vanpools commuting to “Pax River” would help support the base’s overarching sustainability goals.
Anyone Attending E2S2?
