$4.70. That’s the average price Washingtonians paid for a gallon of gas in 2022. For daily commuters, that has put a big dent in their wallets.

Our budget-friendly hack? Join a vanpool. For an affordable monthly fare, this rideshare option saves time + money by allowing you to commute with a group of three or more van, gas, tolls (and the fast lane) included.

Use King County’s Fare Schedule calculator to see how vanpooling’s cost-saving services make the commute better. Calculate your commute.*
