With the cost of premium gasoline currently
hovering around $3.50 a gallon, drive-alone
commuting is becoming a luxury for many
people. For commuters who are looking for a
long-term solution to gas price woes,
vanpooling is ideal. With vanpooling,
commuters who live at least 30 miles away
from their worksite and can synchronize
their schedules with six or more commuters
nearby may be eligible for a vanpool. The
time spent riding to work can be used in a
variety of ways: completing work,
socializing or even catching up on sleep.
