LYNX VanPool

A LYNX VanPool is a group of people who live and work near one another, have similar work schedules and commute to work at the same time each day using a van provided by LYNX. The route, schedule and pick-up/drop-off locations are determined by the driver in cooperation with other vanpool members.

How Does It Work?

Typically, one person from the group volunteers as the primary driver. However, several or all of the participants may share the driving. Driver approval is subject to specified program criteria, including a review of applicant's motor vehicle report. Any participant that is registered may use the van for errands during the work day or at lunchtime provided they coordinate the arrangements with the primary driver.

Save Time and Money

The cost of the LYNX VanPool service varies and is based on the size of the vehicle. This cost, which is shared by the participants, includes all maintenance and insurance for the van. Gasoline and tolls are additional costs also shared by the participants. A minimum of six to eight participants is recommended. However, our vans can accommodate up to 12 passengers, based on availability.

LYNX 'Van Use' Program

This is a separate, employer-based vanpool service provided by LYNX. The cost is based on the size of the vehicle and usually is subsidized by the company interested in providing this service to their employees or clients. The monthly fee covers the van lease and maintenance package, excluding insurance. All LYNX Van Use vehicles are under a mileage cap and cannot exceed 3,500 miles per month. If the van exceeds the mileage cap, there will be an additional charge of $.10 per mile over the limit.
