Vanpool Guide
Search and register
with an existing van
pool using the
VPSI, Inc ., search
engine.
Or search for a vanpool
organized by UH
community
here.
Form your own van pool in 10 steps:
1. Call VPSI at
1-800-VANRIDE
2. Determine your route
and basic monthly
expenses.
3. Advertise route and recruit riders.
Feel free to use the Parking and Transportation
Bulletin Board as a way to communicate with potential
riders. To start a van pool you must have five riders.
Each rider has to ride the van 12 days in the month
to receive the Metro Subsidy of $35.
4. Identify primary and back-up drivers.
Qualify drivers by completing driver and back-up
driver paperwork with VPSI
5. Select your vanpool
vehicle.
6. Establish van pool ground rules
and sign up riders for the Guaranteed
Ride Home Program.
7. Set policies and payment for each
rider’s share of the cost.
8. Hold a group meeting.
9. Select start date and
collect first month’s
payment.
10. Get in the van…and
go!
What happens if I need
to drive to campus
instead of riding in the
van pool?
You can purchase a day
parking permit at the
Visitor Information
booth, park in one of
the UH Parking Garages
and pay the guest fee,
or park in one of the
free lots located at
Rosewood and Scott
Street and the Wheeler
Avenue Baptist Church
parking lot (on Wheeler
across from the UHDPS
station) and ride in to
the office in the free
UH Parking Shuttle.
Please feel free to
contact a University
Services customer
service representative
at 713.743.5723 for assistance in this
process.
