Sharing commuting cost between 5+ riders in a Metro Vanpool is a great deal! And while you are saving money, let your driver chauffer you while you read, do a few emails, or simply enjoy the company of your ride-buddies. Vanpools are usually made up of people who all work at the same place.
Start a Vanpool: See kingcounty.gov/metrovans. Vanpool drivers go through a vetting/qualification process and take online training before being approved. Drivers are the group leader, with the help of a designated rider/bookkeeper. Drivers clean and make sure the van is maintained. Personal use of van is strictly limited.
Join a Vanpool: Riders simply fill out a detailed, online application at rideshareonline.com. A completed application provides a log in to the site. Riders find drivers by entering their trip details and then sorting through a list of drivers’ trip schedules that have matching locations. For Bellevue vanpool information, see chooseyourwaybellevue.org.
Find a Carpool: After filling out the application at rideshareonline.com, log in and enter your trip details. A map shows others whose trips are similar to yours. It’s up to you to find the best match. If you want to ride, send a “driver” a request. There does not appear to be any vetting of drivers/passengers. For carpool to Bellevue information, visit chooseyourwaybellevue.org.
Take HOV: HOV lanes require 2+ riders except I-405 which requires a flex-pass and during weekday peak hours, it requires 3+ riders to use the lanes free of charge.
School-pooling is just starting in Issaquah. It’s a way to help share rides with other families at your children’s schools through a free, secure, ride-match service. See rideshareonline.com for more information. To get involved, email salmonfriendlytrips@issaquahwa.gov.
