What about working late or an emergency?
If you’re the driver, be sure to let fellow vanpoolers know your situation as soon as possible so they can make alternate arrangements. If you're a passenger, see if your employer or the county where you live and work offers a Guaranteed/Emergency Ride Home program. These programs can help you get home in an emergency on a day that you carpool, vanpool, etc. at no cost to you.
Do vanpools provide door-to-door service?
Vanpools meet and drop off at designated areas. Typically you'll meet your vanpool at a local Park & Ride Lot and will be dropped off near a centralized area near your worksite. Vanpools do not offer door-to-door services.
