Join an existing Vanpool

1.

Find an existing group
See available vanpools along your route to find a match.

2.

Coordinate your ride
Once you find a match, confirm the seat availability by contacting the group and complete the required documents.

3.

Need more matches? Check the regional list
If you did not find a match from our current vanpool list, you can try searching the regional database by registering at RideshareOnline.

Start your own Vanpool

1.

Form your own group
To form a new vanpool, you will need at least 2 volunteer drivers and 1 bookkeeper. Vanpool drivers must meet our Vanpool Driver Eligibility requirements.

Complete a Vanpool Starter Kit and email to Vanpool@commtrans.org to start your application.
