Notes

  1. Cost per mile estimate based on AAA's "Your Driving Costs 2004" brochure.
  2. Cost of vanpooling based on King County Metro Vanpool Program Fare Schedule effective January 1, 2005. Please check with King County Metro for current price, or with other regional vanpool providers for their pricing. Prices also available for non-standard workweek schedules and for various numbers of riders up to 15-passenger vans.
  3. Cost of Puget Passes effective June 2005. Please check with King County Metro for current price. If you ride other regional transportation, your actual costs may vary. Check with your employer — some employers subsidize transit passes, so your costs might be lower.
  4. Work at home does not need to be full time, and often is just one day per week or as needed. The cost of working at home was based on the absence of commute costs, and does not attempt to calculate costs of establishing a home office. Home office costs depend on your work needs and may range from minimal to significant. Some employers subsidize home office costs.
