Did you know that:

• Qualified vanpools receive a $400 subsidy to help defer the cost of gas.
  
  
• If you carpool, vanpool, or ride transit three or more times a week you can join our Guaranteed Ride Home Program as a safety net to get you home when you have an emergency.
  
  
• Your employer can get transit discounts and offer other transportation benefits and receive tax savings.
  
  
• Carpools and vanpools can use High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes and HOV by-pass on ramp meters, which allows you to get to work faster.
  
  
• By carpooling, vanpooling, or taking transit you create increased time for things like reading, listening to music, chatting with friends, taking a nap, or getting work done.
  
  
• By working from home, you can spend your normal commute time with family, pursuing interests, or focusing on personal growth instead of stuck in traffic.
  
  
• Biking or walking to work can help you stay healthy and improve stress levels!
  
  
• You can reduce your carbon footprint and help global climate change by changing your commute just one day a week. The U.S. transportation sector as a whole is responsible for almost nine percent of the world's total CO2 emissions!
  
  
• You can bring positive changes to our local air quality – a solo driver who changes their 20-mile round trip commute to transit can reduce their CO2 emissions by 4,800 lbs. per year!
  
  
• You can decrease wear and tear on your personal vehicle by carpooling, vanpooling, or taking public transit instead of driving alone.
