Gain a smarter way to stretch your network
What happens when transit agencies face pressure to do more with less? If your organization is navigating coverage gaps, budget headaches, and other challenges, a van might just be the solution you're looking for!
On Thursday, June 18 at 2 p.m., the Vanpool Council is hosting a live panel featuring two transit professionals who have navigated similar situations. They'll explore how, rather than competition for fixed-route transit, vanpools are a force multiplier!
Tune in to hear from moderator Angie Wilkie (Valley Metro) and speakers Scott Miklos (RTC of Washoe County) and Joe Stainsby (OmniRide). This session will give you a new lens for how all the pieces can fit together!
