Vanpool
The purpose of the CSULB vanpool program is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, comply with our air quality mandate, and support sustainable transportation choices. CSULB vanpools consist of 4 to 10 staff and/or faculty who, as a group, rent a van through Enterprise Rideshare and share a commute to campus. CSULB vanpool members save money on gas, vehicle maintenance, insurance, and the expense of a parking permit. Vanpools are eligible to receive the following benefits:
- A $600/month van rental subsidy
- A employee parking permit for the van
- A designated vanpool parking space
- Two subsidized emergency rides home per fiscal year
In addition, vanpooling allows riders to use time-saving carpool/HOV lanes and enjoy the health benefits of reduced stress. Vanpool passengers often use the time to relax, sleep, read, text, or catch up on emails. Part-time ridership options are also available.
Each Enterprise Rideshare van features luxury upholstery, sound system, cruise control, power locks and windows, and front and rear A/C, with additional upgrades upon request.
Join an existing vanpool or start a new one! Please call 562.985.7433 or email ride@csulb.edu to learn more. We will help you start the process or connect you with an existing vanpool if one already exists in your area.
