Does traffic make your head spin? Vanpools are DCTA’s vantastic new way of giving you a comfortable, cost-effective and convenient way to get to work. Ideal for groups of six to 15 people, vanpools reduce stress, help the environment and save you money.

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.

DCTA offers vanpool drivers a month-to-month lease on passenger vans that includes maintenance, roadside assistance, and insurance costs. If you are part of our vanpool program, you can also take advantage of our Guaranteed Ride Home program, ensuring that you will always be able to get home when you need to. Vanpooling makes your commute easier, puts money back in your pocket – and takes care of you.

Employers: Power to the People – and the Bosses.
Employees are not the only ones to benefit from this program. First off, the federal government offers some tax benefits that could save employers money. If you help subsidize the vanpool cost for your employees, you could be eligible for a tax deduction on the amount provided. Plus, if you already help pay for parking costs, needing fewer spots will help reduce your bottom line. Not to mention the benefits you will get by having happier employees!

To get a vanpool started for yourself or your employees, call 972.221.4600.
