Provide a Vanpool Program

Description

  • Vanpooling is a common, long-distance commute option for employees headed to the same work site, typically consisting of at least 5 commuters.
  • Vanpools are typically organized by an employer. The employer purchases/leases a vehicle (or utilizes an existing fleet vehicle) for employees to travel to and from work. Routes are organized with employees that live in proximity to one another or on the same route to the worksite. Employees are responsible for the cost of gas.
  • Vanpool members typically pay a fee which covers van costs such as gas, insurance and other monthly costs on the vehicle.
