About VanPool
The Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) has served as the
local catalyst and matchmaker for individuals wishing to carpool to
work or school within the Palouse-Clearwater region. VanPool is a
partnership between PCEI, the City of Moscow, and the Idaho
Transportation Department to reduce commuter traffic in the
region.
