Shared Vehicle Program (For non-profits only)

The Napa Valley Transportation Authority’s (NVTA) Shared Vehicle program was created expressly for 501(c)(3) organizations that serve the elderly and people with disabilities.

To qualify for this program, you must be: A non-profit, public, or 501(c)(3) organization that provides services for the elderly or people with disabilities.

Here’s how it works

You Provide the Driver (and the gas)

• Once your organization or agency qualifies for the program, you must identify a prospective driver from your agency’s workers’ compensation policy.
• It is highly encouraged for the designated driver to have a Class B driver license.
• The borrowing agency will need insurance for general liability and insurance for hired and non-owned auto liability. NVTA must be added in the insurances as an additional insured.

We Provide the Vehicle and train the driver too!

• NVTA will perform a background check and drug testing on the assigned driver. NVTA will also ask for proof that the candidate is covered under that agency’s worker’s compensation insuance.
• If the assigned driver passes all the requirements above, NVTA will provide training to the driver and add them onto our vehicle insurance.
• NVTA will also maintain the vehicles.

After the assigned driver has been trained, you can schedule time to borrow a vehicle. The organization applying is in charge of picking up and returning the vehicle, submitting trip paperwork, and replacing the gasoline used. Most vehicles require a Class B driver license.
