Travel to work in comfort with your group in a Pace van and save money. By volunteering to drive with others on the way to work as part of the Pace Vanpool Incentive Program, you can eliminate your commuter costs.
Save Money on the Way to Work.
Vanpool for FREE when you travel with four commuters in a group. This means that all the commuter costs you would pay to get to your job are covered! Pace provides the van and covers all the operating expenses including insurance, fuel, maintenance, tolls, washes and roadside assistance.
You can cut down on car ownership in your household, lower the wear-and-tear on your own vehicle which may result in reduced maintenance costs, and decreased auto insurance premiums. You might even qualify for special insurance plans or discounts. Check out our savings calculator.
Make the Pace Van Your 2nd Car.
When the van isn’t taking the group to and from work, primary drivers can use their allotted personal miles. In addition to getting to work with no vanpool fares, Pace Traditional Vanpool drivers get 300 personal miles per month which can be accumulated up to a maximum of 500 miles. Pace Feeder Vanpool drivers receive 600 miles monthly for various purposes, including the commute to work, errands, lunch-hour trips, recreational travel, visiting friends/family and more.
A Pace Vanpool backup driver is a rider who volunteers to help with Pace driving when the primary driver is unavailable due to work absence or teleworking. In exchange for driving, the rider monthly vanpool payment is reduced by $25 for riders with full-time participation and by $15 for those with part-time (3 days or less per week) participation. The savings can add up to about $180 to $300 per year in rider fare discounts.
All Pace Vanpool drivers must complete an application and sign an agreement. There are primary driver forms and backup driver forms which include a complete list of driver requirements and some of the vanpool rules.
