Vanpool >
Sharing rides to work or school can mean big money savings.
Our vanpool system is an excellent transportation alternative for those with
long commutes. Passengers share the cost of fuel, maintenance and
insurance through a monthly fare. Not only do you save money, but vanpools
provide a comfortable, relaxed ride. Vanpool drivers are fellow commuters,
responsible for collecting the monthly fee and fueling the vehicle. In
return the driver rides free.
PTBA can tell you how to set up a vanpool with your own van.
Call (509) 758-3567.
To start a
vanpool, you need a minimum of 5 riders including several people who are
willing to drive (and who have good driving records).
Current vanpools
operated by the Asotin County PTBA travel to Schweitzer Engineering Labs in
Pullman, Washington State University, and Lower Granite Dam.
Forms On-Line:
Drivers Wanted:
Asotin County PTBA's
Vanpool program requires that each van has at least two qualified drivers.
We strongly suggest that each member in the Vanpool become a qualified driver so
if anything unexpected comes up, there is always someone available to drive the
van.
If you are interested
in becoming a driver, you will need to obtain a copy of your Complete Driving
Record from the Department of Licensing. You will need to visit your local
DOL to make the request. We ask that the prospective driver have no moving
violations or preventable accidents for the past three years, and no major
moving violations or a DUI for the past seven years. Once you obtain your
Complete Driving Record, fax it to (509) 758-3594. Please write your
daytime phone number on the fax, so you can be scheduled for class once we
verify that you qualify.
