This study has integrated two interrelated trends in commuter patterns - the continual growth of long distance commuting defined as one-way trips in excess of 35 miles and congestion at suburban activity centers. Vanpooling is well established in the Knoxville area, with more than 42 vanpools in the Knoxville Commuter Pool database. Operation Greenlight was able to expand the number of operators by providing agency lease vans for new vanpool starts. The 25 vanpool drivers responding to the survey had an average vanpool driving experience of 8.7 years. The study showed mobility options such as vanpooling serve as critical linkages in tying together small rural communities with suburban activity centers where job opportunities are increasingly available.
