Would you like to save money and enjoy a more relaxed commute?  Are you an employee or employer looking for new or better transportation access to that dream work place?  If so, the NOACA vanpool program is your solution!

NOACA has contracted Commute with Enterprise to offer a van pooling program that offers vehicle options for commuters as an alternative to driving individually.

Vanpools are a way for 4-15 people to get access to a van, complete with insurance and maintenance. All members of the vanpool split the operating costs, keeping your commute affordable and stress-free. It’s a great option for groups of commuters who live and work near each other and have similar work schedules.

Because Commute with Enterprise owns and maintains the vehicle, a vanpool can be an easy, turnkey solution for you and your fellow commuters.  The program includes late-model, low-mileage SUVs and vans that come complete with amenities such as in-vehicle Wi-Fi and leather seats.

Monthly costs depend on the vehicle type and the distance you travel. Everyone in the vanpool splits the costs for rent and fuel.  To lessen the cost to participants, NOACA is offering subsidies that cover 50% to 80% of vehicle leasing for eligible vanpools that:

• Support travel options where public transportation is not adequate
• Connect those in need to new employment opportunities
• Operate at a maximum capacity and benefit

NOACA is also partnering with Commute with Enterprise to offer an Emergency Ride Home Guaranteed Program for participants who get sick at work, need to pick up a child at school, or need to stay late at work. In these situations, NOACA will reimburse up to 80% of a bus ticket, Uber, Lyft, or taxi fare needed for your trip home, up to a maximum of four trips per year and $60 per trip.

If you have any questions, please reference the program FAQ. If you would like to have a representative present additional information to your organization, please contact the NOACA Vanpool Manager today at (216) 241-2414, ext 331 or email vanpool@mpo.noaca.org
