To start or join a vanpool is easy (gas and parking fees paid separately by individual vans). Vanpooling is available via the METROVan (1-888-606-RIDE) and miniPOOL (1-866-474-mini) partner programs. Information is accessible via the web by clicking here or via phone with either of the partner programs.

Save Thousands $$$ - Between the money saved by not driving alone and the special incentives available from agencies and even some employers, it is easy to understand why so many people are choosing van-pooling. What would you do with a large after-tax raise?

Commuters, remember to check with your employer about special reserved parking for your vanpool.

MiniPOOL

As part of a project to reduce congestion in three of Houston’s major construction corridors, Commute Solutions has launched the miniPOOL Vanpool Program. With just 5-8 riders you can get $50 a month to carpool in a minivan. All you have to do is travel through one of three major construction corridors: Katy Freeway, West Loop 610, or US 59 South.

The miniPOOL team can get you on the road! They can work with you and your coworkers to set up a miniPOOL, host informational meetings at your company, conduct employee transportation needs surveys, and handle all the administrative work.
