Recent Updates:

With the addition of a new van in June 2026, the program expanded service to support more commuters and exceeded its goals for reducing vehicle trips, vehicle miles traveled (VMT), greenhouse gas emissions, and fuel consumption.

From December 2023 through June 2026, the program has:

• Eliminated 76,230 vehicle trips
• Reduced 2,934,794 vehicle miles traveled
• Prevented 2,218,566 pounds of CO₂ emissions
• Saved 113,755 gallons of fuel

In June 2026, the program supported 17 active vanpools serving employees from businesses and organizations across the region, including Palisades Tahoe, Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal, Everline Resort, Granite Peak Management, the U.S. Coast Guard, Peak Landscape, and Tahoe City Marina.

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 sara@tnttma.com for more information.
