How Vanpool Fares Work
Your monthly fare covers everything — a comfortable and clean van, gas, insurance, maintenance, and a ride home in case of emergency.
Monthly fares are determined by the following factors:
- Average daily round-trip commute miles
- Van size
- Number of Vanpool riders
Note: The video above does not reflect the most current Vanpool requirements. As of August 1, 2022, Community Transit is lowering the ridership minimum to 3 people per vanpool. Also, if your vanpool is commuting three days a week or fewer, you may now purchase a 3-day fare beginning on Aug. 1.

Employer-paid options
Many local employers, such as UW and and Boeing, offer Vanpool subsidies. Check with your HR department or your Employee Transportation Coordinator to learn more about company benefits and subsidy options. Some riders may be able to use an employer-provided ORCA Business Passport to pay their fare as well.
