Vanpool from the Clarkston/Lewiston area has a full-time opening starting June 1 for a rider. We depart from Clarkston at 6:50 a.m. and Lewiston at 7 a.m. and leave the campus at 5 p.m. During summer hours we depart from Clarkston at 6:30 a.m. and Lewiston at 6:40am and leave the campus at 4 p.m.
Most are hesitant about joining, however once aboard, riders rarely leave. Availability of one’s own vehicle seems to be the #1 reason for not signing on. However, it’s actually not often missed. Yes, one does need to get accustomed to not having that particular flexibility, but it doesn’t take long. The cost savings and wear-and-tear on a car are large factors of consideration. The comfort of sitting back and letting someone else drive…it’s nice! This van community enjoys one another’s company, and the drive seems shorter. Foul weather? The van comes every day…unless totally unsafe conditions. Please think about joining. As is often heard, “you’ll be glad you did.” For more information and if you are interested, please contact Teresa Beckvold at teresa.beckvold@wsu.edu.
