No organization provides more "qualified transit" to military personnel and Department of Defense civilians than VPSI! With over 600 vanpools serving nearly 60 military installations throughout the nation, we are providing sustainable transportation services to commuters at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, the Naval Station San Diego, California; Fort McPherson, Georgia and a myriad of installations in between. The recently enacted American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 included a provision which significantly increased the maximum tax-free Commute-to-Work benefit for the Department of Defense (DoD) Mass Transportation Benefit Program (MTBP). The MTBP allows any active duty military or civilian DoD employee to receive up to $230 per month for transportation costs if they are using a qualified mode of transportation like vanpooling. VPSI makes it easy for military personnel and DoD civilians to take advantage of the recently expanded Commute-to-Work benefits by offering online access to our dedicated www.militaryvanpool.com website. MilitaryVanpool.com is a one-stop resource for information on vanpool opportunities at military installations all over the country as well as useful links to DoD transit subsidy policy and MTBP Applications.
As with a rapidly growing number of the nation's universities, military installations are discovering that vanpooling supports many of their most crucial sustainability initiatives especially in the areas of air pollution, parking and congestion mitigation. The Sustainable Management System at Fort Bragg, NC includes a transportation objective to "Build a sustainable, world-class mass transportation network providing seamless transportation between multiple modes of travel while reducing harmful emissions by 2030." Partnering with VPSI enables commuters traveling to and from Fort Bragg to help realize these objectives regardless of where they commute from and, in many cases; they can do so for free.
