Why vanpool
The advantages of vanpooling
One fixed monthly fare covers the van, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and parking. Here's what that gets you.
Save 60–100% on your commute
Vanpooling costs a fraction of driving your own car — one shared fare covers the van, fuel, insurance, maintenance, and parking.
Many federal riders ride free
The federal transit benefit covers up to $340/month for vanpooling in 2026 — enough to cover most fares entirely. We accept WMATA Smart Benefits, TRANServe, and TranBen.
Skip the traffic
Use HOV lanes and let someone else drive. Work, rest, or relax on the way in and arrive refreshed instead of frazzled.
Nothing to maintain
We handle all repairs, cleaning, licensing, registration, and insurance — and provide a backup van during service.
No long-term commitment
Month-to-month with a fixed fare that never changes based on ridership. Cancel anytime with a pro-rated refund.
Guaranteed Ride Home
Four free emergency rides a year through the Guaranteed Ride Home program, so you're never stranded by overtime or an emergency.
Better for the planet
A single 15-passenger van on a 50-mile round trip takes approximately a dozen cars off the road and keeps over 40 pounds of pollutants out of the air every day.
Goes where transit doesn't
Vanpools serve routes traditional transit can't — with pickup near your home and drop-off right at your workplace.
More time, less wear
Reclaim your commute for rest or work, and put fewer miles on your personal car so it lasts longer.
A built-in community
Many of our vanpool groups become friends over years of sharing the ride to and from work.
