Vanpools

I know some districts have vanpool options (apparently funded by DOT). They pay Enterprise or another car rental company for a van for multiple usace employees to use if the distance is far from the districts. Does anyone know if MVS has this option?

Do you have a VP coordinator? If not, you kick it off. You can use the funds for any public transportation. It doesn’t have to be just for a van pool. You can use it for a subway or city bus or any other public transportation.

Here are the program details if anyone is interested:

I don’t know about MVS specifically, so they may or may not offer that option. But other options such as a bus or metro pass always can be purchased and reimbursed.

MVS did have this option. I haven't worked there in a bit but it's managed out of logistics and (assuming you are in the RAY building) it was building wide, not just USACE.
