Commute Trip Reduction
Share your commute and join a van pool!
What is van pool?
A vanpool a group of 3 to 7 people sharing a ride to work in a transit agency provided vehicle. Vanpooling saves you money on gas and wear-and-tear on your personal vehicle. It also gives you time to do things other than sitting alone in traffic. You can get help joining a vanpool or creating one that fits your schedule by contacting any of the local transit agencies.
$$ How can I save money?
All Department of Defense personnel; military, civilian, and NAF, qualify for a monthly subsidy up to $325 a month that can be used towards the monthly fare for using a form of Public Transit or vanpooling, through the Mass Transportation Benefit Program.
