vanpools
Group ride arrangements
Vanpools are organized ride-sharing arrangements where commuters travel together in a van, typically to and from work.
Unlike carpools, vanpools usually involve a larger vehicle, often subsidized by employers or transit agencies, with passengers sharing fuel and maintenance costs: The company encourages vanpools to reduce parking demand.
A vanpool is a single such arrangement.
