2. "How much does it cost to vanpool with Van-GO?"

A lot less than it costs you to drive yourself . . .  How often do you gas up and how much does it cost?

Note, effective January 2008, federal employees (active duty/activated Reserves/NG, civil service and NAF) are authorized $230. monthly incentive for qualifying vanpools.  Other employer tax free incentives authorized by IRS may be available for non-federal employees.  The cost of our vanpool service is $230. monthly.  That means only your share of fuel costs for federal employees after finance incentive reimbursement.  Plus, we povide additional Van-GO fuel incentives.  Please visit our "Savings Calculater" (tab above) or call us, to see how you may be able to end up riding for free, much less than you're paying now to drive yourself to work. Gasoline cost is divided equally by all vanpool members.

4. "What if I have an emergency and need to leave work before normal hours?"

Up to four, free, guaranteed rides home a year, up to $100 each, to qualified vanpool members.

5. "How is the vanpool operated day to day?"

The primary driver maintains the van at his or her residence and picks up remaining vanpool members at a nearby central location such as a park and ride, or community parking lot.  Pick up times are based on everyone arriving at work in time for the vanpool "wake up" call before work.  At the end of the day the driver picks up other vanpool members at a pre-arranged, convenient  location and then returns to the same morning pick up point.  Pre-dinner nap time over...  ;^)
