Vanpool
Vanpools. Small groups making a big difference. Save cash. Win prizes.
A vanpool is a group of 7-15 people who ride to and from work together. Vanpoolers save money on gas and car expenses and keep dangerous pollutants out of our air. And vanpools can travel in the uncongested HOV lane, so everyone can kick back and relax (unless you're the driver)! Vendors in the region provide the vehicle, insurance and the maintenance.
Rewards:

You can also take advantage of the Vanpool Incentive Program and tax benefits for vanpooling.
