Sharing A Ride in Ann Arbor

Carpooling or vanpooling to work are great options for employees who live miles away from their jobs to ease their commutes. You might be surprised at how many people are eager to carpool or vanpool to save money and avoid the hassle of parking or traffic everyday.

What are my options?

Carpooling

Carpooling is when two or more people share the same vehicle. Carpools usually include people who live near each other, are employees of the same company and have similar work hours. Need help finding other carpoolers? CommuterConnectMi connects people together for free. Some employers organize carpools and provide incentives for carpooling.

Vanpooling

Vanpooling is similar to carpooling but, instead of personal vehicles, the commuter group uses full-size vans, minivans, or SUVs that are provided and organized by a third party company. Vanpools carry between 4-15 passengers, usually commuting to the same location from a distance farther than 15 miles.

Vanpoolers may pay their share of the cost with pre-tax commuter benefits.

Carsharing

Carsharing lets you drive a car when you need one while skipping car ownership costs. Carsharing services in Downtown Ann Arbor allow you to use a car when you need one, such as for running errands, getting to meetings, and more.
