Community Transit buys vans for fleet
Community Transit plans to purchase 25 new vans for its vanpool fleet.
The new minivans, authorized by the Community Transit Board of Directors on Thursday, will bring the agency’s total to 419.
This makes Community Transit’s vanpool fleet one of the largest in the nation, according to the agency.
A vanpool is a group of five to 15 commuters who ride to work together in a van provided by Community Transit. The agency currently operates 357 vanpools, with new groups forming regularly.
The 25 new vans will be seven- passenger Toyota Sienna minivans, each to be purchased at a cost of $21,603. The total cost, including license, registration and fees, is estimated at $568,579. Most of the vehicle costs will be funded by state grants.
The new vans are expected to arrive in late March.
