RIDESHARE
How does it work?
Clallam Transit owns, maintains, manages, insures, and licenses a fleet of 22-passenger vans. These vans are assigned to commuter groups and are driven by volunteers who share the commute.
To start a Rideshare group three daily commuters are required in a vehicle at any give time. A minimum of two drivers and a coordinator within the group are required to start a group.
Safety is important to Clallam Transit. The agency trains and approves all drivers and monitors their driving records while driving in the Rideshare Program.
What's in it for me?
There are many perks to participating in a rideshare;
- Lower mileage and reduced wear and tear on your personal vehicle.
- Decreased insurance premiums due to fewer miles traveled by your personal vehicle
- Fewer fuel purchases
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Reduction in new tire purchases
All this adds up to more $$ in your pocket!
