Vanpooling

Somerset County vanpooling. The front of a van.

Vanpooling, like carpooling, provides the flexibility and convenience of car travel but with the opportunity to significantly cut fuel costs and avoid wear and tear on your personal vehicle. A vanpool consists of 5 to 15 commuters who live and work in a common area, have compatible work days and hours, and ride to and from work in a commuter van that they lease as a group from a vanpool provider. If vanpooling in Somerset County, RideWise can help you get started and qualify for potential subsidies.

You can either search for existing vanpools or check with your company about forming a new vanpool. RideWise can help you and your company through the process of finding other interested commuters and selecting a vanpool provider. Contact staff@ridewise.org or call 908 704-1011 for more information.
