Vanpools need minimum of four persons commuting to work. The program includes a new(er) minivan, all fuel charges, insurance, carwashes, 24/7 fleet management, and all other incidental costs of driving a vehicle.
Commutes less than 60 miles each way cost $500 per month and commutes over 60 miles each way cost $700 per month. Costs are divided among the participants. The average cost per person to participate in a vanpool is approximately $83-$140+ per month, based on commute patterns, mileage, and occupancy.
All drivers must pass a drug/alcohol screen, criminal and driving background check, USDOT health exam, defensive driving class, and provide a current State of Michigan driving license along with proof of personal insurance.
