San Jose vanpoolers enjoy a stress-free commute in good company

Eva Ramirez and her vanpool group have been riding from San Jose to work in the Grounds department since 2016.

Each member of the vanpool has a different reason for choosing this commute, whether it’s trying to reduce their carbon footprint, enjoying the camaraderie, or just saving money with the vanpool subsidy and up to $300 a year in Clean Air Cash.

For Eva, it’s hard to choose just one thing she likes about vanpooling: “I just love everything about it.”

There’s one thing they can agree on: The only thing better than a stress-free commute is a stress-free commute in good company!
