The report identifies the various elements of passenger transportation vanpool programs and describes the procedures necessary for employers and agencies to implement a vanpool program, based on Virginia conditions. The concept of vanpools is introduced and benefits to management and employees are identified. Among these are reduced needs for parking, reduced traffic congestion, lower commuting costs and conveniences. Employer concerns about vanpool implementation are discussed, such as legal aspects and insurance costs. In Virginia there are no serious legal problems to prevent vanpooling. Experience with vanpools elsewhere in the U.S. indicate that methods for managing and operating programs differ from one company to another although the basic concept is similar to that selected by the 3M Company in its pioneering effort.
