GUIDELINES FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF COMMUTER VAN PROGRAMS

The document describes the major stages in the development of a company sponsored commuter van program including: the investigation of program feasibility, the promotion and organization of the service, and the operation and administration of an ongoing operation. These guidelines are based on the experience of several successful programs and potential sponsors should find them useful for their particular situation. Seven detailed case studies which are representative of the major types of commuter van services are also presented.
