Short on passengers? Learn about our new Seat Subsidy program to keep your van going.

Once you’ve registered your vanpool with the 511 Regional Rideshare Program 511 RideMatch Service we provide valuable services to help keep your vanpool rolling smoothly for a long time. We’ll help you recruit new passengers and back-up drivers and make sure you’re benefiting from financial incentives that may be available to you.

If you are driving a van, but your vanpool is not registered with our Ridematch Service, you may be missing out on some of these great benefits. Registering is easy. Give us a call at 511, say Rideshare, and ask to speak to a vanpool consultant. Or register your van online using the 511 RideMatch Service and select one of the "yes" options under "Do you drive a vanpool?"
