The Basics
It’s a rideshare service that allows five to 15 commuters who share similar travel patterns to lease a van on a month-to-month basis. This is especially helpful for riders who live in areas where METRO service isn’t available.
METRO Vanpool operates in eight counties: Harris, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Liberty, Montgomery and Waller.
Vanpooling not only saves money on gas, tolls, routine maintenance and other commuting costs, but you also save time by using the METRO HOV Express Lanes.
And because driving responsibilities are shared, vanpoolers can enjoy more time relaxing during a stress-free commute.
