Vanpools
The U-PASS subsidized vanpool program has been met with great enthusiasm
and continues to gain additional participants. In October 1998, 246
U-PASS holders in a total of 27 vans were participating in the program.
Prior to the U-PASS, only eight vanpools were in operation, with a total
of 79 participants. The U-PASS is worth $40 of the monthly vanpool fare,
which is determined by distance traveled, number of riders and the size
of the van. Vans are owned, maintained and insured by Metro or Community
Transit.
