The Rapid’s RapidVan Program Kevin Wisselink June 2008

RapidVan Program Overview RapidVan Program The Rapid is operating 26 vanpools throughout the region All vanpools are seven passenger minivans All vanpools are required to have between four and six members. The vehicles are owned by The Rapid, and operated by the vanpool members. Vanpool members pay The Rapid a monthly fee, and The Rapid then covers all vanpool expenses.

Vanpool Operation Fueling: Purchased through a card- access commercial fueling firm, with stations throughout the Grand Rapids area. Maintenance: Administered by a third-party fleet maintenance firm; none of the vanpool maintenance is performed in-house. Insurance: Purchase a policy that covers the fleet; all drivers need is their own personal car insurance policy.

Vanpool Funding Passenger fares $500 / month for commutes less than 60 miles one way $700 / month for commutes greater than 60 miles one way State Assistance The State of Michigan provides 29% operating assistance. Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Grant Funds from the Federal Government to help improve West Michigan’s aiq quality; CMAQ funds are used to purchase new vehicles. Sale of Old Vehicles Vans are sold after 3 years / 100,000 miles and proceeds used to purchase new vehicles.

Vanpool Member Requirements Drivers must pass Criminal, Physical and Drug Screening background checks Each vanpool must keep a daily mileage log and submit a monthly report containing National Transit Database information. Each member is billed a month advance for their portion of the vanpool bill. Each vanpool is public transportation; it is open to new members provided they are on the route of the existing vanpool.

Vanpool Software Vanpools are tracked using a software called “Greenride”, produced by Environment & Ecology. This allows the program administrator to store all vanpool information, track where current vanpool members are currently assigned, and generate monthly invoices. Vanpool members make their monthly reports using this software as well.
