For those not familiar with vanpool, Vanpool is very similar to carpooling – the only difference is the vehicle is provided! It’s a prearranged group of 4–13 people sharing a ride to and from work on a regular schedule. The vehicle, insurance, roadside assistance, and carpool matching is provided to the vanpool group and is covered in the monthly lease fee. For FAQ and more information on vanpool head to our vanpool program page here.
The program is funded by Statewide Transportation Improvement Funds in partnership with Cascade East Transit, and currently includes a 100% subsidy for the lease fee and gas associated with vans that start or stop in Deschutes, Jefferson or Crook county.
