AGENCY VANPOOL PROGRAM SERVES BREVARD’S NON-PROFITS
Space Coast Area Transit and Commute With Enterprise developed the Agency Vanpool Program to benefit the disadvantaged residents of Brevard and strengthen the community at large.
Before Commute With Enterprise, the cost of insuring and operating a van was not feasible for many human services agencies, due to their limited budgets.
Transporting the mobility disadvantaged is now simple and affordable for organizations such as Brevard Alzheimer’s, Bridges, and the Space Coast Center for Independent Living, who lease vans through Commute With Enterprise for only $695.00 per month—which includes insurance and maintenance.
Currently, 19 agencies have been provided 46 vans through this cost-saving program.
