Abstract
This study reviewed the operations of eight state-run vanpool programs and another seven programs that are run by local units of government. This review focused on the size of each program, funding sources, passenger fares, and overall operations. Some of these services are run with in-house personnel while others contract with commercial vanpool companies to administer and promote their programs. The experiences of these programs may be beneficial if North Dakota decides to reestablish a vanpool program for the benefit of its business community and state residents.
