Why choose to carpool or vanpool

Sharing the ride will save you time and money, reduce your stress levels, improve air quality and help ease traffic congestion. And don’t forget: carpools and vanpools qualify to use HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes, which can save time getting to your destination – you know you want to be in that lane when all the others are backed up with traffic!

It only takes two commuters riding together to form a carpool and save a glove box full of money. Make your carpool as flexible as you need to, from one to five days a week, or whenever it works for you. More carpooling=more savings. More savings=more half-caff-double-shot-skinny lattes.

Want to leave the driving to someone else? You could start or join a vanpool – a turnkey operation including insurance and maintenance. Read, sleep, or even work (you deserve a raise!) during your commute. Six or more people riding together and sharing the costs is a very smart way to get to work these day. We may even pay part of the costs to get you up and going.
