One of the largest Vanpool Programs in the nation, Brevard’s vanpools are currently traveling 175,000 miles per month, carrying approximately 30,000 passengers and logging more than 1,000,000 passenger miles per month.
Space Coast Area Transit's Vanpool Program provides assistance to groups of commuters and various social service agencies. The vans are purchased by the County Commission with Federal capital grants and are provided to VPSI, the company who administers Space Coast Area Transit's Vanpool Program. VPSI then leases vans to both commuters and human service agencies at a rate that includes all maintenance, insurance and administration. Commuters that live in the same area and work in the same location form vanpools of 7-15 people in a state-of-the-art van provided through this program.

Vanpooling is extremely attractive to employees at the Kennedy Space Center who have a significant commute of over 100 miles per day. Fares depend on the commute distance, the total number of riders and the type of van. For passengers, vanpooling provides a low cost, convenient, stress-free commute. Typically, the vanpool driver rides free of cost in exchange for driving, collecting fares, and managing the maintenance of the van through VPSI. Types of vehicles used to support the various needs of a specific group include: Seven-passenger "mini-vans," Eight-passenger "mini commuter" vans, Eleven-passenger "executive" vans with individual seats, Fifteen-passenger split bench "maxi-vans," Wheelchair lift equipped vans and Raised roof vans.
