Vanpools can be a convenient, reliable and cost-effective choice for people who live 15 or more miles from work and maintain a consistent schedule. In a vanpool, members share the expense of a leased commuter van, minivan or SUV.
Local and national vanpool companies work with interested commuters to arrange vehicle leases and insurance, coordinate billing, screen drivers and oversee procedures for servicing vehicles. Most providers offer month-to-month leases. Loudoun County does not own, lease or operate vanpool vehicles but helps commuters form and join vanpools.
The benefits of vanpooling include:
- Members have a reserved seat on a customized route.
- Groups are eligible for financial support in exchange for providing monthly ridership reports.
- A vanpool can begin with as few as four commuters.
