Choose Vanpool to Save Time and Money |

Gather five or more people together and share the ride. You provide the drivers and King County Metro will provide a van, maintenance, insurance and gas. As a bonus, King County Metro allows drivers up to 40 miles per month for non-commute trips and will put a bike rack on your van upon request. Rates are based upon length of trip and the number of riders. If your employer provides an Orca Card, you can use it to subsidize your Vanpool fare. For more information, visit the links below.
