VanPooling may be the answer for you!

Use your calculator and ask yourself WHY you are not already VanPooling!

VanPooling is an ideal option for those who commute from longer distances that are not served by rail or bus. A VanPool is a group of 7-15 commuters who ride to and from work together each day in a comfortable passenger van. The drivers are members of the VanPool who volunteer to drive and to be responsible for collecting the monthly fees from the riders and commit to reporting the VanPool activity each month.

VanPooling may be a good fit for you if you live 15 miles or more from your worksite, e.g., Union City to TSYS.

Vendors in the region provide the vehicle as well as insurance and cost of maintenance of the van. GRTA provides a $300 per van subsidy per month.

Join a VanPool

 

Form a VanPool

Currently, the easiest way to join a VanPool is by forming one at your worksite. There may be people who work with you that live near you and are also looking for a commute solution. You can try for an instant match to get a list of possible vanpoolers in your area. When you've found a group of interested co-workers, contact CobbRides and a member of our outreach team can meet with you and take care of all the details. Don't forget, GRTA provides a $300 per van subsidy per month.

Or, you can talk to your boss. By offering a VanPooling program, employers can take advantage of the federal tax provision that benefits both employers and employees. If you sign up for the Guaranteed Ride Home program, you will be eligible for a complimentary taxi ride, or 24 hour rental car, if you have an emergency, and it's free for your employer as well.
