Vanpools

Vanpools are a great option for commuters traveling long distances (usually 50 miles or more).

Vanpools offer quick, direct service, while still offering considerable cost savings over drive-alone commuting.

Currently, there are several vanpools directly serving Cambridge with open seats. There are also many more vanpools which serve downtown Red Line stations, providing quick access to the Kendall Square area, as well as vans serving North Station, accessible to Cambridge via our EZRide Shuttle.

If you are interested in learning more about a specific vanpool listed below, call or email the contact person provided.

Benefits of vanpooling include:

  • Time: Relax, work, sleep or read during your commute.

  • The cost of gas is split among the riders.

  • Reduce wear and tear on the family car.

  • Significant cost savings compared to driving alone.

  • Free or discounted parking in Cambridge.

  • No long term commitment: 30-day pay as you go structure.

  • Emergency Ride Home (if you miss the van due to personal emergency or unscheduled overtime, you get a free taxi ride home).

  • The Commonwealth of Massachusetts offers significant startup incentives for which you will be eligible.
