RIDESHARE/VANPOOL

Island Transit Public Rideshare

(FKA Vanpool)

Whether your goal is to save money on your commute, spend less time driving, help the environment, or all of these, you've come to the right place! Public Rideshare is when a group of three or more people share a similar commute using a vehicle provided by Island Transit. Also provided by Island Transit is a gas card or electric subsidy, tolls, insurance, and maintenance. Participants pay a low monthly fare. In some cases, employers cover some, or all of the fare for their employees.
