THE SPECIAL NEEDS SPECIALISTS.

Serving special needs students is all we do. It’s all we’ve ever done. Every day, we serve thousands of students from the Berkshires to Boston.

Here for them, here for you.

Van Pool combines the care and compassion of specialized caregivers with the operational excellence and resources of professional service providers.

Expertise at every turn.

Safety is always our first priority. With more than 35 years experience, we know exactly what it takes to ensure a safe trip. Grounded in our formal training program—which is the only one of its kind in New England—our drivers have the technical know-how and professionalism to handle almost any situation that could arise. Beyond that, Van Pool drivers are also deeply aware of and sensitive to our students’ varying physical, cognitive and behavioral needs. We have the tools, the training and, most importantly, the care and discretion to make every trip a safe trip.

Delivering exceptional value.

Through operational excellence, we’re committed to providing the highest quality, most reliable service possible. Each of our vehicles is equipped with a GPS tracking device, minimizing wait time while controlling costs. We meticulously maintain our modern fleet in prime operating condition which minimizes downtime. Operating out of six local bases and keeping a significant number of vehicles and drivers in reserve, we are flexible and respond to changes quickly.

Going the extra mile.

Our mantra is “Whatever It Takes.” From CEO to driver, every Van Pool employee is focused on providing best in class service.

We’ll even work directly with parents and schools, attend IEP meetings and take the lead in resolving service issues. Our documentation and reporting is accurate and on time. Whether you are a parent or district, we are constantly communicating to ensure you’re always in the loop.
