About Van Pool
OUR MISSION
To Positively And Significantly Contribute To The Success Of Our Students, Our Schools, And Our Communities.
Whatever It Takes
In 1986, Van Pool was founded with the idea of partnering with school districts to provide superior service and expertise in transporting special needs students to and from educational settings. Since that time we’ve steadily grown by providing best in class service, creating significant value to our school district partners.
At Van Pool Transportation, our people matter. Van Pool is proud to be part of Beacon Mobility, a family of transportation companies dedicated to helping adults and children get where they need to go – safely, on time, and by people who care. Our core purpose is to provide Mobility Without Limits by Transporting People to Live, Learn, and Achieve, and we take that responsibility very seriously – for us it’s a labor of love, and we are dedicated to ensuring that the individual requirements of our students are met each and every day.
