An employer vanpool program that has started providing transportation to local businesses will be the focus of an upcoming open house.
The program is offered in Columbus by the Central Indiana Regional Transportation Authority (CIRTA), which had already been serving Marion County and eight surrounding counties, said Andrew McGee, the agency’s interim director.
CIRTA currently operates vanpools for individuals who work at Cummins Inc. and Faurecia Clean Mobility, but live in Indianapolis or Greenwood, McGee said.
Employers such as NTN Driveshaft and Rightway Fasteners Inc. have also shown interest in the vanpool program, he said.
The session will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Nov. 8 in the Cal Brand meeting room at Columbus City Hall, 123 Washington St. Individuals who attend will be able to learn how the vanpool program works, said Laura Thayer, director of the Columbus Area Metropolitan Planning Organization and transportation planner with the city.
