Grays Harbor Transit Vanpool
(360) 532-2770
If the hardest part of your job is getting there and back again, Grays Harbor Transit can help! They offer vanpool services designed to make your commute easier and less expensive. Whether you're interested in joining a vanpool or want to start one yourself, they can help you. A vanpool is a group of 3 to 15 people who commute together in a comfortable passenger van.
Grays Harbor Transit owns, maintains, manages, insures and licenses a fleet of 8-, 12- and 15-passenger vans. These vans are assigned to commuter groups and driven by volunteers who share the commute. You must live at least 10 miles from where you work to start a vanpool. Vanpool riders pay a low monthly fare based on the number of miles traveled. Some employers even pay part of their employees' van fares!
You need at least three commuters to start. Each vanpool must have a coordinator, at least three drivers, and a bookkeeper. Drivers must be approved and trained before they operate the vanpool vehicle. Vanpool passengers pay a low monthly fare based on mileage and number of riders in the van. Fares cover the costs of operating the van, including fuel, insurance, and maintenance. The vanpool group creates its own rules such as pick-up and drop-off locations and the commute schedule. You pay your fare in advance to reserve your seat, but members can ride fewer than five days a week.
Grays Harbor Transit can help you locate commuters who want to start or join a vanpool. Call 360-532-2770 for more information.
