Eligibility Requirements for Vanpools
Are You Eligible?
To qualify for a Stanford vanpool permit and 100-percent vanpool subsidy, applicants must meet these requirements:
- At least five members of your vanpool must meet all of the eligibility requirements for the Commute Club and must not already have a permit or be receiving Clean Air Cash.
- Vanpool members must vanpool together for the majority of the commute and live in areas that would facilitate a reasonable and expected commute pattern that is consistent with the intent of the Commute Club program.
What If You're Not Eligible?
- Vanpoolers who are not eligible for the Commute Club (such as night- and evening-shift employees or employees at off-campus sites or at sites where parking is not managed by P&TS) DO NOT QUALIFY for Stanford vanpool permits or the vanpool subsidy.
- Ineligible commuters are welcome welcome to share a ride with Stanford vanpools as an unofficial member of the vanpool and are welcome to use the Stanford Carpool and Vanpool Listing page to find Stanford ridesharing partners.
