Program Background

At the regular board meeting July 20, 2011, Spokane Transit’s Authority approved the Surplus Van Grant Program to meet unmet transportation needs of organizations by granting up to 10 vehicles that have reached their useful life to human service organizations. In 2023, STA is pleased to be able to grant six 15-passenger Rideshare by Spokane Transit* vans to organizations to enhance transportation services provided within Spokane’s Public Transportation Benefit Area (PTBA).

*Rideshare by Spokane Transit was formerly known as Vanpool.

Eligibility

Private companies, organizations, or local governments within the PTBA that serve individuals who have disabilities, are older adults, and/or live on limited incomes are eligible to apply. Organizations that are awarded a vehicle must commit to ridership reporting for one year in order to maintain ownership of the granted vehicle.

Questions about eligibility, limits of the PTBA, and other questions about the program should be directed to [email protected] or call (509) 343-1674.
