Sharing the ride in Western Oregon

Welcome to Valley VanPool

A better commute starts with a shared ride.

Valley VanPool brought together people making similar trips to work across the Willamette Valley. Small groups shared a leased van, a regular schedule and the cost of the journey.

The program connected commuters with local support through Cascades West Rideshare, Cherriots Rideshare and Lane Transit District’s Point2point program.

A regular work schedule, a shared meeting point and a group travelling in the same direction are the starting ingredients. A regional rideshare team can explain the next steps.
