C-TRAN Vanpool Program
For commuters unable to use fixed-route bus service, C-TRAN has the answer! Our commuter Vanpool Program provides a safe and effective way to commute while sharing the ride and expense. For groups of five to 12 riders who share a similar commute, C-TRAN will lease a mini or full-size van (depending on the group size) on a month-to-month basis; no contract required.
How it Works: Your van lease includes all fuel, insurance and maintenance needed to operate the van, and includes an Emergency Ride Home Program designed to give you peace of mind knowing you have a ride whenever a personal emergency arises.
Each vanpool group chooses its own drivers and sets its own route and schedule. So, whether you commute from Vancouver to Longview, or Salem to Vancouver, our Vanpool Program can accommodate any commute that is at least 10 miles in each direction.
If you or anyone you know would like to participate in the Vanpool Program, please have them contact (360) 906-7510.
