Recent Updates:

The North Tahoe Workforce Vanpool program offers an economical, stress-free commute for North Lake Tahoe Employees. Since its launch in December, the program has eliminated 15,258 vehicle trips and saved 426,559 pounds of CO2 emissions. Vanpool groups, formed by employees with similar commutes and schedules, rent a van to commute together, with the vanpool captain driving the van home each day. Subsidies through TOT-TBID Dollars at Work cover part of the rental cost, with the remaining costs shared among riders or covered by employers.

The program currently has thirteen active vanpools with an average daily ridership of 65, up from 55 the previous quarter. Current companies participating in the program include Palisades Tahoe, Everline Resort and Spa, Granite Peak Management, and Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal. 

We are still looking to get more vanpools on the road. Anyone interested in the program for themselves or their employees can contact Sara Van Siclen at [email protected] for more information.
