How does vanpooling work?

Getting there together is a great way to start the day.

VIAWorks Vanpool vehicles may travel almost anywhere, as long as trips start or end within VIA’s bus service area. Vanpool makes it possible for groups of five to 15 persons to share a ride to work, while splitting the cost of van rental and fuel.

Employees of participating workplaces may receive up to $255 per month* for Vanpool expense reimbursements. VIA also provides a subsidy discount ($20 per person, per month), insurance, 24-hour roadside assistance, and van maintenance.
