What is a vanpool?
A vanpool is a better way to travel to and from work. It consists of 5-15 people who commute together on a regular basis. One person volunteers to be the driver/coordinator of the vanpool and often rides for free. The riders share the cost of operating the vanpool. The group determines their daily schedule and route including one or more designated pick up locations.
Benefits of Vanpools:
