Enjoy your trip to work. Your commute can be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. Vanpooling saves you money on fuel, maintenance, insurance and vehicle depreciation.
Where does it go? Vans will run between Redmond and Bend during regular commute times M-F.
What kind of vehicle is it? Large and conversion vans to luxury cross-overs. Late model vehicles include seating for 7-15 people, captain’s chairs, keyless remote entry and cruise control. There are upgrade features such as Wi-Fi, Satellite Radio and GPS.
How much does it cost? For the 40 mile-round trip 5 days per week it costs about $100 per month per rider. Vanpooling saves the average commuter 50-75 percent versus driving alone, plus it saves time and is less stressful. And no parking hassles!
How do I get in a Vanpool? There is a custom software program that matches individuals into vanpools with open seats and corresponding drive times and routes. Through this program, we can keep your vanpool rolling!
Where can I get more information? Contact Kim Curley, kim@commuteoptions.org or 541-408-6111 to be added to the list. A meeting and more information are forthcoming.
