CARPOOLING
What is Carpooling?
The basic definition: when two or more people ride together in the same vehicle. What carpooling means for you: a less expensive commute & the ability to use the HOV lane!
How Do You Save?
Once you receive your ridematch list, team up with at least one other person for your drive to work and cut your commuting costs. The more people in your carpool, the lower your expense! Either divide the commuting expenses by the number of people in the group, or rotate driving responsibilities every week or so. Remember, you don’t necessarily have to carpool every day. Consider starting off by trying it only a few days a week!
VANPOOLING
What is Vanpooling?
A Vanpool is made up of five to fifteen people who commute together in a passenger van. One or more members of the group volunteers to drive, with
the cost of operating the van split evenly among the group.
The monthly fee includes: a brand new vehicle, bumper to bumper
maintenance, liability and collision insurance, 24-hour roadside assistance,
loaner/back-up van, 
program administration, and 24-hour customer service.
The lease agreement is month-to-month, with no long-term commitment.
How Do You Save?
Vanpooling is ideal for people with longer commutes, with usual distances from work of at least 15 miles one way. The longer your commute, the more economical a Vanpool tends to be. Likewise, the more riders in the van, the less each rider pays, since costs are shared evenly.
