Call the Triangle Transit Authority at 549-9999 and then press 5 and ask for the vanpool coordinator. A lot less than what you would pay to drive alone. Each passenger pays a monthly fare to ride in the van. Fares are based on the number of average monthly miles and the costs of operation, maintenance, insurance and depreciation. See our fare sheet for monthly costs per van and per rider, based on 14 passengers.
Some employers offer subsidies to employees who rideshare.
Check with your organization to see if it will help pay your vanpool costs. TTA also offers a seat-subsidy program to encourage formation of new vanpools. After that, the passengers must absorb the cost of any empty seats. Triangle Transit Authority owns the vans and leases them to the drivers. In most cases, vans are replaced after they have traveled 80,000 miles.
