vanpool participants

COVID-19 update. SANDAG Vanpool Program vendors are working with drivers and participants to determine the best solution for each van's needs during this time. Participants are encouraged to contact their vendor directly to discuss temporary suspension, larger vehicles, or any other options available to them. For more questions, please contact the SANDAG Vanpool Program administrator at [email protected] or (619) 699-0706.

The SANDAG Vanpool Program, administered by iCommute, has nearly 700 vehicles on the road, helping more than 5,000 San Diego region commuters share the ride to work. From filling seats to subsidizing lease costs, iCommute is here to help vanpools stay on the road. 

Fill empty seats. Looking for new riders?Simply submit an open seats form and your vanpool's information will be included in our available vanpool seats list.

Get rewarded for referrals. The Vanpool Ambassador Program is here! SANDAG will now pay up to $999 toward your van’s lease for one month when you recruit a new van. That’s $599 in addition to the $400 subsidy! Contact us for fliers and referral cards to get started. 

Want to refer just one rider? Use referral code "SANDAG" to receive a $25 gas card. Your referred friend also gets a $25 gas card! View full promotion terms and conditions. 

You’ll never be stranded. If you vanpool, you have a safety net with the Guaranteed Ride Home program. Registered participants can get a free ride home in an Uber, taxi, or rental car up to three times per year in the event of:

• Personal or family illness or emergency
• Unscheduled overtime
• Being stranded at work due to carpool or vanpool driver leaving for an emergency

To register for the Guaranteed Ride Home program, fill out this registration form and your vouchers will be emailed to you.

Just park and go. With multiple locations throughout the San Diego region, Park & Ride lots are a free and convenient place to meet your vanpool riders. View the Park & Ride map to find a convenient lot for your vanpool.
