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 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.
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 prepaid fuel.
