RideFinders Celebrates Vanpooler

Feb 10, 2020

What better way to celebrate our Fall in Love with Vanpooling Challenge than to celebrate our vanpoolers! John, an employee with the Virginia Department of Transportation, has been vanpooling for 25 years! As a founding member of his vanpool, he travels 80 miles roundtrip four days a week! Over the past 25 years, he has saved approximately 400,000 miles. “I believe by vanpooling I have saved myself from having to purchase at least two vehicles. Vanpooling has definitely saved wear and tear on my car,” John explained to Von Tisdale, RideFinders executive director.

Ms. Tisdale congratulated John on this milestone before his retirement. He received an Outstanding Commuter Achievement Award certificate and a bag full of RideFinders swag! Congratulations to John on his significant and sustained commitment to making a difference in the region by vanpooling. Learn more about the many benefits of vanpooling.
