Updated vanpool program by OKI now includes hybrid work option, aiming to enhance commuting accessibility
The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) has upgraded its vanpool program to cater to the needs of regional residents, offering a more budget-friendly, flexible, and sustainable commuting option.
The enhanced program provides an increased monthly stipend of $800 for vanpool participants, helping to offset commuting costs and encouraging more people to join the program[1][5]. This financial assistance continues towards the van rental costs.
Moreover, the vanpool program now offers a hybrid work option, allowing commuters to tailor their vanpool use for office and remote work arrangements[2][13]. This flexibility reflects changes in work patterns and offers greater adaptability to commuters' needs.
The vanpool program partners with Commute with Enterprise and is designed to be especially valuable for late shift workers or those living in geographic areas where public transportation options are limited[3][10]. The program allows groups of colleagues to form a vanpool, with the schedule established based on the needs of its members[11][12].
It's worth noting that vanpool riders are still responsible for covering the remaining rental costs and expenses, such as gas[4][9]. However, the program provides 24-hour roadside assistance to riders, ensuring a safe and reliable commuting experience[6].
The ultimate goal of the OKI vanpool program is to make commuting more accessible, affordable, and flexible for regional residents, while also promoting a sustainable and convenient commuting option[7][14].
