What are we all about?
Our story
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. 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.
From CEO to driver, every Van Pool employee is focused on providing best in class service. We work directly with parents and schools, attend IEP meetings and take the lead in resolving service issues. Whether you are a parent or district, we are constantly communicating to ensure you’re always in the loop.
Part of the Beacon Mobility family
In 2021, Van Pool Transportation joined the Beacon Mobility family of transportation companies.
Beacon Mobility companies bring critical Special Education, Paratransit, Non-Emergency Medical, and Standard School transportation to communities in 25 states in the U.S. And we love what we do.
That’s because Beacon Mobility is, above all, a people-focused organization. We are a dedicated, passionate, and diverse group who pour our hearts and souls into caring for the precious cargo we transport every day.
Our values and core purpose
Beacon Mobility is more than a company – we’re a family. Everything we do is viewed through the lens of our values and core purpose to ensure that our employees, our customers, our passengers, and our communities will not only grow, but thrive.
