RELAX AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR COMMUTE
JOIN A VANPOOL!
Why Vanpool? Read, sleep, eat, watch a movie . . . on your way to work! If you are commuting over 15 miles one way by car, consider sharing the ride. Not only will you contribute to cleaner air, you will also save money by sharing the cost of fuel, bridge tolls and parking. Vanpooling will also reduce the wear & tear on your personal vehicle – saving you money on maintenance and car insurance (reducing your commute miles will lower your annual car insurance.)
You do the math. Compare the cost of driving alone and sharing the ride. Visit http://www.commutesolutions.com/howmuch.html
Now, join a vanpool!
A vanpool consists of at least seven passengers including the driver. The vans are leased through outside agencies VPSI, Inc. and Enterprise Rideshare. The cost is determined by commute miles and size of van. Incentives are offered through SACOG (Sacramento Area Council of Governments) and the Yolo Transportation & Management Association for start-up vanpools. Registered UCD Vanpools are entitled to additional incentives. The vans range in size from 7 to 15 passengers.
