WTA is making up to three retired vanpool vans available to local community organizations, through a competitive application process. To apply for a van, organizations must be non-profits or government agencies who provide a valuable community service.    
 
WTA staff will evaluate applications based on the recipients’ ability to ensure a community benefit, bridge a transportation gap, and administer the program. Administering the program includes insuring and maintaining the van, managing transportation logistics, and reporting ridership results.
 
While the retired vans are no longer suitable for the long daily trips required by vanpool vans, they are in good working order. Both twelve- and fifteen-passenger models are available.
 
WTA General Manager Pete Stark said, “We’re excited to partner with some great local organizations, to help them meet a transportation need within our community.”
 
Interested organizations can download an application from WTA’s website.  They can also request an application by calling [360-788-9312], or sending an email to [kimc@ridewta.com].  Applications are due to WTA no later than 3 pm on Friday, November 2.
