Commuting By Vanpool |
A vanpool is a prearranged group of 5-15 people who
share a ride to work. The group enjoys a low monthly fare and a
comfortable commute in a van that seats 8, 12, or 15 passengers.
Members—usually co-workers or people who work in the same
vicinity—volunteer to drive and fuel the vans, keep them clean, and
schedule maintenance and repair work. Commuting in a vanpool is a
great way to reduce stress and save money. For many people,
vanpooling also offers valuable personal or work time during the
commute. King County Metro’s Rideshare Operations provides various
services to help you start and support your commuter pool (see
Metro
Vanpool Program).

| VanShare |
Metro VanShare provides a
van to groups of three or more commuters connecting them to buses,
trains, or ferries. Now you can park a van at a transportation hub
or terminal (rail station, park-and-ride, or ferry dock) and the van
is there, ready to bridge the gap in your trip.
