Abstract:The Huntsville Volunteer Van Demonstration, operational since November of 1980, provides transportation service to the traditional transit-dependent community in an unconventional way. The city of Huntsville is not served by a conventional public transit system; hence, various low-income neighborhoods are without basic transportation service. As an alternative, reconditioned used vans are purchased by the city of Huntsville and provided at no charge to groups organized as non-profit neighborhood organizations. How and when the van is used, driers, the cost of gasoline, and all other operations and administrative responsibilities are assumed by the neighborhood organizations. The service has been successful, growing from one van serving one neighborhood late in the 1980 to 14 neighborhoods by mid 1983. Vans are presently in service in Huntsville and in the counties of Madison, Limestone, Jackson, DeKalb, and Marshall, all located in Northern Alabama.
