Overview
CommuteInfo wants all commuters’ trips to be safe ones. The CommuteInfo Pooler Driver Safety Training reimbursement provides volunteer drivers of CommuteInfo carpool and vanpool groups the opportunity to continue developing their driving skills by taking driver safety training courses and be reimbursed for the cost.
Eligibility
All registered CommuteInfo volunteer vanpool and carpool drivers are eligible for training.
Reimbursable Trainings
We want you to be safe on the road that’s why CommuteInfo offers reimbursement for approved driver education programs through the Pennsylvania Department of Education, the American Automobile Association, AARP, and Seniors for Safe Driving. Driver safety classes offered by these approved driver education programs and organizations are automatically eligible for reimbursement.
It is the decision of CommuteInfo staff whether other training courses are eligible for reimbursement. Please contact CommuteInfo prior to taking any course to see if it’s eligible for reimbursement.
Reimbursement Limits
Upon successful completion of an approved driver safety course, drivers are eligible for up to $200 in reimbursement of the course cost. Each driver is eligible for this reimbursement once every two calendar years.
For reimbursement, submit a copy of the certificate of completion, documentation of the amount of time to complete the course, course cost, and proof that the payment was made in full. Upon receipt of these items, CommuteInfo will process the request and the reimbursement will be mailed. Click here for the reimbursement form.
Other Benefits
Under Pennsylvania law, drivers 55 and older are eligible to receive a 5 percent discount on their personal vehicle insurance by completing a Basic Mature Driver Improvement Course. CommuteInfo volunteer drivers should check with their personal vehicle insurance carrier to determine whether they are eligible for this or any other benefits.
