If you are or have an employer in the greater Grand Rapids, Michigan area, ITP's Business Transportation Services can offer employer assistance in forming company vanpools. ITP works with the state funded MichiVan program which provides 7-15 people with a luxury passenger van, insurance, maintenance and support services. Passengers share the low monthly fees based upon factors like round trip mileage, fuel cost and the number of riders.
Drivers also have personal local use of the vans during weekends and off hours.
Vanpooling gives commuters convenient, economical and comfortable transportation. An effective employee transportation program can help a company recruit personnel and expand its geographic recruiting area. An effective transportation program can allow companies to retain skilled labor in the event of relocation or increased commuting costs. Employees can design the kind of carpool program that meets their individual needs. They can travel together regularly or just a few times a week.
