Middle Tennessee – The Transportation Management Association Group, TMA, a non-profit that manages VanStar, the regional commuter vanpool program serving hundreds of commuters throughout 14 Middle Tennessee counties, is proud to announce the addition of two new vehicle types to their fleet.
VanStar is a state-of-the-art vanpool commuter ridesharing program using dynamic technology to match up commuters and manage a 100-vehicle vanpool fleet.
This year, the program is introducing seven passenger Toyota Sienna Minivans in addition to 20 Nissan NV2500 passenger vans as part of the commitment to Williamson County and the Middle Tennessee region.
“Vanpooling through VanStar is uniquely designed to meet the needs of the Middle Tennessee commuting problem,” said Chase Harper, business development manager of TMA. “It is a form of public transit that most Tennesseans do not know about, but it really has a lot of advantages. It saves wear and tear on personal vehicles for users as well as reduces air pollution and parking and roadway congestion.”
The TMA Group is taking the fleet on the road with street events in Davidson County and Williamson County. People can enter a drawing to win a $100.00 gift card at each location.
The following events are scheduled for July:
Midtown – Nashville
Monday, July 24th, 6:00am – 8:00am
