Save Money on the Way to Work.
If you're one of the Pace primary drivers, you can enjoy a completely FREE commute to work! Pace provides the van, oversees the program, and covers all the operating expenses. You can cut down on car ownership, lower the wear-and-tear on your own vehicle which may result in reduced maintenance costs, decreased auto insurance premiums. You might even qualify for special insurance plans or discounts. Check out our savings calculator.
Create a Better Commute.
Pace primary drivers start shaping the vanpool routing and select travel times that match their work schedule. Specific details are fine-tuned so the riders can join. The group creates and agrees on their commuting logistics. To enhance coordination, consider these simple vanpool rules. As a Pace driver, you can take pride in knowing that you are improving the quality of life, decreasing the number of vehicles on the road and minimizing reliance on oil, thereby making a positive contribution to our environment.
Appreciate Good Company.
Coworkers can meet, share stories, network, and enjoy new friendships. Many groups stay together for years, developing good conversation and companionship.
Make the Pace Van Your 2nd Car.
When the van isn’t taking the group to and from work, primary drivers can use their allotted personal miles. In addition to getting to work with no vanpool fares, Pace Traditional Vanpool drivers get 300 personal miles per month which can be accumulated up to a maximum of 500 miles. Pace Feeder Vanpool drivers receive 600 miles monthly for various purposes, including the commute to work, errands, lunch-hour trips, recreational travel, visiting friends/family and more.
Pace covers all the vanpool costs. The primary drivers take the Pace van for regular maintenance inspections, repairs, refueling and van washes. To facilitate this process, Pace provides fuel and maintenance cards to the drivers. Learn more about the Pace Vanpool Program.
A Pace Vanpool backup driver is a rider who volunteers to help with Pace driving when the primary driver is unavailable due to work absence or teleworking. In exchange for driving, the rider monthly vanpool payment is reduced by $25 for riders with full-time participation and by $15 for those with part-time (3 days or less per week) participation.
