What is vanpooling?
A vanpool is a group of people with a similar origin, destination, and schedule, who share the costs of commuting and ride in a vehicle with 7 or more seats. The group divides the cost of the monthly van rental, gas, insurance, and other costs among themselves.
How does it work?
Vanpools require a committed group of regular commuters. Typically, vanpools appoint one person to be the driver/coordinator who is responsible for maintenance as well, often taking on that role may make you eligible to pay nothing. To ensure an efficient service, we recommend van passengers meet at a Park & Ride and agree on 1-3 stop locations.
