A vanpool is a group of 5 to 15 people who commute together to work 30 miles or more (roundtrip) at least 13 days out of the month. Typically, riders pay a monthly fare and maintenance fee, while drivers ride at a discounted rate in exchange for driving and maintaining the van. Bishop Ranch will help tenant employers form vans by contributing $40 per month per active participant in a vanpool. Combined with an employer subsidy could mean free vanpool rides to work.
