Brevard's Vanpool Program has grown from 6 to 120 vans and is one of the largest public/private sponsored Vanpool Leasing Programs in Florida. Since vanpooling in Brevard County is a form of mass transit, vans, which are purchased by the County Commission with Federal capital grants, are provided to VPSI who administers Space Coast Area Transit's Vanpool Leasing Program. VPSI then provides vans to both commuters and human service agencies. The vans are leased to commuters and social service agencies at a rate that includes all maintenance, insurance and administration. The Vanpool Leasing Program complements Space Coast Area Transit's fixed route and paratransit service.
