Log your trips. Track your savings. Get more green. If you vanpool, you can track the savings to your wallet and the environment with TripTracker. TripTracker will allow you to log your trips and instantly see your cost and environmental savings. TripTracker also keeps you eligible to receive your monthly $400 iCommute subsidy.
No worries. You won’t get stranded. By vanpooling three or more times each week, you can take advantage of the Guaranteed Ride Home program, ensuring that you will always be able to get home. It’s free to sign up, and the program will pay for a taxi or rental car in the event of an emergency or unscheduled overtime.
Just park and go. Conveniently located throughout the region, Park & Ride lots are free and a great place to meet your vanpool.
