VANPOOLING
Vanpools like carpooling, carry from seven to fifteen passengers. Vanpools typically operate weekdays, traveling between pick-up locations and the workplace. Pricing varies based on the size of the van, the round-trip distance, and the type of equipment in a van. Amenities could include on-board Wi-fi, luxury seats and bike racks.
Compared to the cost of driving long distances alone, vanpooling will save on average 50-75%. (Enterprise Rideshare FAQ)

COMMUTER PROGRAMS
If you’re a frequent vanpool commuter, participating in a commuter benefit program, offered by your employer, saves you money and time.
RideECO is the commuter benefit program. ECO means Easy Commute Options that can save you time and money. RideECO allows employers and commuters to save by putting pre-tax dollars towards fares on many modes of alternative transportation.
