Ridinā€™ solo? Thereā€™s a better way to commute. Grab two or more of your besties (or family members, or coworkers) and reap the benefits of vanpooling. King County Metroā€™s rideshare option includes everything you need for your commute in one monthly fare ā€” the van, gas, tolls, insurance, maintenance, and more.

Hereā€™s how vanpooling can transform your commute:

  1. Save onā€¦ everything. Whether commuting three days a week or seven, vanpooling saves time, money, and the environment (think: being able to use carpool lanes, contributing to fewer cars on the road, and not paying for gas + tolls).
  2. Pick your driver. Lessen stress by sharing driving responsibilities.
  3. Decrease car wear and tear. Did you catch that? The van is included. Read: Keep your car in your driveway and save on car maintenance (and insurance).
  4. Play ā€œI can in a van.ā€ Take the passenger seat and catch up on reading, emails, shopping, or that game you canā€™t stop playing.
  5. Ride with friends (or make new ones). Commute with a consistent group of friends who have a similar commute ā€” or join an existing vanpool. See how it works.*
