NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS CONTACT US EMPLOYEE LOGIN Our Approach Special Needs Expertise Ensuring student safety is our top priority. We understand the unique challenges of transporting special needs and homeless students and have the specialized knowledge and know-how to meet them. Through our formal training program — the only one of its kind in New England — we ensure that our drivers not only have technical, equipment and emergency skills needed; but also know how to be sensitive to and effectively manage the different physical, cognitive and behavioral needs of students. We want to help make sure that every school day starts and finishes on a positive note. Operational Excellence We’re committed to providing a safe, high quality, and reliable service at an appropriate cost. We do so by recruiting, hiring, and training the best. We maintain a fleet of late model vehicles and keep them in prime operating condition. We back them up with a team of transportation coordinators who have both the operational expertise and the experience to minimize wait and ride times for students, leading to efficient and timely service. We live and work in the regions we serve, giving us a better understanding of the needs of our districts, families, and students. And with over 1,000 vehicles on the road each day, we can be flexible and respond to changing needs quickly and effectively. Training Van Pool School, the Company’s formal training program, is a requirement for all drivers and ensures that employees not only receive technical training, but also understand the Company’s culture, relationships with stakeholders (customers, parents and students) and expectations for them as representatives of Van Pool in the field. LEARN MORE Technology Van Pool has developed a proprietary and robust data driven technology platform that captures the detail needed to provide the appropriate services to each student. All vehicles have GPS tracking devices with onboard cameras that provide consistent monitoring of the services we provide. LEARN MORE Superior Customer Service “Whatever it takes” is our motto and we strive to make the lives of students, parents and administrators a little bit easier. All customers are assigned a dedicated Van Pool transportation coordinator who can take on nearly all of the transportation duties saving valuable time for administrators. We’ll work directly with parents and schools, attend IEP meetings, and take the lead role in resolving service issues. We believe communication is king and are happy to communicate directly with parents while ensuring administrators are always in the loop. And we’ll ensure all invoices, documentation, and reporting are accurate and on time. Our goal is to help take work off your desk, not add to it.
