Vanpooling has many non-monetary benefits as well. It takes up to fifteen vehicles off the road, therefore helps with air pollution and congestion. Passengers can sit back and enjoy the ride, read, catch up on paperwork, or snooze. It is a low stress way to go. Each member is guaranteed taxi rides home in case an emergency arises.
Drivers ride free in exchange for coordinating the vanpool.
In addition, drivers can use the van on weekends and evenings. AAA membership will be provided to the driver.
