A commuter vanpool is a group of five or more employees who commute to and from work together. Most vanpool members can choose to ride on a full-time or occasional basis, depending on their schedule. The vanpool driver can use the vehicle for free personal use.
A Day in the Life of a Vanpooler video showcases how Stanford Health Care teammates turn commuting into community. From local pickup points straight to the workplace, see how vanpooling saves time, strengthens community, and supports a greener planet. Watch the video to learn how you can join at the Palo Alto or Pleasanton campuses.
