Vanpools Drive Down the Cost of Commuting and More

Vanpools are springing up all over metro Atlanta. Just this past year, almost 50 new vanpools were created, driving in from all corners of the metro area. Why?

It's easy:

Saves money - vanpooling can cut an employee's commute expense by as much as 75 percent in some cases.
Saves time - vanpools are allowed to travel in the HOV lane, allowing passengers to bypass gridlock.
Saves sanity - now that someone else is in charge of the driving, vanpoolers can sit back and relax. Read, chat, sleep, and maybe even work!
Saves miles - vanpools can remove up to 14 cars from metro Atlanta roads, helping riders reduce wear and tear and helping us all breathe easier.

Most vanpools form at an employer site by a group of interested employees who live near each other and share a similar schedule. And, by offering a vanpool program, employers can take advantage of a federal tax provision that allows both employers and employees to pay for vanpool costs with pre-tax dollars, potentially cutting your payroll taxes.

The Clean Air Campaign and the region's transportation management agencies (TMAs) provide a number of incentives to save you money by offsetting the costs of starting and operating a vanpool. Find out more about our startup subsidies and new rider referrals.
