Vanpool
Get where you are going faster, easier and cheaper.
Votran Vanpool Program provides assistance
to commuters who live in Volusia County. Many commuters in the vanpool
program travel outside of Volusia County to work each day. By vanpooling,
these commuters save themselves stress, time and money. The vans used in
Votran’s Vanpool Program are purchased by the County with Federal capital
grants; they are leased to both commuters and human service agencies (501C3
agencies - some restrictions do apply) at a
rate that includes all maintenance, insurance and administration fees.
Commuters that live in the same area and work in the same location form
vanpools of 4-8 people and travel in a modern van provided through this
program.
- Tax Free Benefits: Employers may provide
employees with up to $230 per month in tax-free transit and vanpool
benefits. Find out more!
Tax Free Benefits
- Convenient: Vanpool members decide on a
flexible route and schedule. For convenience, many passengers meet at
centralized Park & Ride Lots.
- Affordable: Vanpooling means no wear and tear
on your car, saving on gas, maintenance as well as qualifying for
possible discounts on auto insurance.
- Reduces Stress: Vanpool members reduce stress
just by sharing the driving with other members. Additionally, traveling
in groups enhances personal safety.
Vanpooling
is extremely attractive to those commuters with a significant commute of
over 100 miles per day. Per person expense depends on the commute distance
(fuel expense) and the total number of riders. For passengers, vanpooling
provides a low cost, convenient, stress-free commute.
At Votran, all van maintenance is done onsite by a
professional, highly trained mechanic. There is never a question of where
and when the van will be serviced, Vans are examined on a monthly basis and
mechanics are available for real-time issues that need to be addressed.
