What is a Vanpool?
A Gohio Commute vanpool is a group of commuters who go to work together on a regular basis in a commuter van. Riders share an affordable monthly fee that covers the use of a van, insurance, maintenance, roadside assistance, and fuel card.
MORPC’s Gohio Commute Vanpool Program is in partnership with Commute with Enterprise. MORPC contracts with Commute with Enterprise to provide vanpool services. Commute with Enterprise provides the van, billing, all maintenance, and ongoing customer support for the length of your vanpool experience.
Is Vanpooling Right for Me?
Do you drive 30+ minutes or travel 20+ miles one way to work? Do you maintain a consistent work schedule? If so, you’d make an excellent candidate for vanpooling!
According to AAA’s Cost of Commuting, the average vanpooler saves thousands of dollars on annual commuting costs when switching from driving alone!
TIPS FOR FOR A SAFE COMMUTE
Many employers and employees look to vanpools as a cost-effective way to commute to work. While people are reacclimating to the idea of a shared commute, vanpooling allows for a more controlled environment since it’s a small group of people riding together for many years.
During these uncertain times, MORPC Gohio Commute and Commute with Enterprise has tried to inform groups about commuting safety. We believe by using the recommended CDC safety precautions, vanpool groups can limit their risk while traveling in the van. It is important for commuters to do their part to maintain the vehicle’s cleanliness and adhere to recommend health guidelines to protect all riders.
