Carpool & Vanpool
Why carpool?
It’ll save you money.
Carpooling allows you to share the cost of gas and parking, cutting your expenses by 50% or more. The more people in your carpool, the more you save. You will also help reduce the costs we all pay toward the construction of new roads, road maintenance, and air-pollution-related health costs.
It’s better for the environment.
Having fewer cars on the road means reduced Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and improved air quality.
It’s good for your health.
Air pollution caused by vehicular travel has been linked to a number of health concerns, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular disease, allergies and neurological effects. By carpooling you help reduce these health risks for yourself and everyone else. Research also suggests that carpooling is less stressful than commuting alone.
It’s convenient.
Carpooling provides commuting convenience comparable to driving alone, with less stress and with the added bonus of companionship while you’re commuting. Carpooling partners establish their own unique rules that best meet the needs of their carpool.
It improves your commuting options.
Carpooling offers a commuter option that may work better than other methods of transportation. Carpooling works best for people who live where transit service may be limited or non-existent; and compared to other options, carpooling may better fit your schedule.
It helps you make new friends.

Why vanpool?
Vanpooling could be your solution. If you travel 15 miles or more each way on your commute, you may want to gather the troops and start a vanpool today. Vanpools give access to a van for 5 – 15 people (from a 7-passenger minivan to a 15-passenger full-size van), complete with insurance, maintenance, and fuel. And you split the costs between all members of your vanpool, saving you money and keeping stress levels low.
