If your commute is more than 20 miles each way and you're ready to cut out the cost and stress of driving every day, a vanpool might be for you. A $20 per rider per month subsidy for current and new WaytoGO and VanGo vanpool riders is available if you work in Boulder! Visit Bouldervanpool.com
To get started, check out: Denver Regional Council of Governments Vanpool Program
A vanpool brings together five or more commuters with similar commutes to share a comfortable van ride together. Vanpool members pay a month fee to cover the cost of the van, and can either share driving responsibiities or select a regular driver from among the group. Organizations that support vanpools can help you connect with commuters that share your commute and work schedule.
"Being in a vanpool is great for many reasons! You get to share the driving duties, and it saves you a ton of money over high gas prices. And you don't have to rack up the miles on your own vehicle! Riding with four or five other people lends to some really interesting conversations to and from work." Chris Knoetgen, UCAR Operations Budget & Finance
