Why Vanpool?

Does traffic make your head spin? If you live or work in Denton County, you can start a vanpool through your employer or create one of your own for as little as $64.29 per person per month for an eight-passenger van and $33.79 per person per month for a 15-passenger van. Wheelchair accessible vans are also available for an additional fee. You’ll still save a lot of cash, especially with DCTA covering half the fuel expenditures. On average, vanpool participants cut their commute costs by many hundreds of dollars per year.

As part of our vanpool program, you can take advantage of our Guaranteed Ride Home program, ensuring that you will be able to get home when you need to. Vanpooling makes your commute easier, puts money back in your pocket – and takes care of your travel needs.

Save money

In most cases, vanpoolers can save $1,000 a year or more compared to the cost of driving alone. Plus, they spend less for gas, parking, repairs and maintenance on their vehicles.

Save time

A vanpool can use the HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) Lanes; significantly reducing the time spent commuting to and from work each day.

Save your sanity

You don’t have to fight traffic congestion. In a vanpool you can sleep, read and relax on your commute to and from work.

Save our air

One vanpool removes as many as 14 vehicles and their emissions from the road each day. That’s good for you and for the environment.

Enjoy amenities

DCTA, in partnership with VPSI, offers vanpool drivers a month-to-month lease on passenger vans that includes maintenance, roadside assistance and insurance costs.

Today’s the day to get started; your future is riding on it.
