This report describes the benefits, costs and other implications of commuter vanpool programs - in the B.C. Lower Mainland as well as across Canada. The study found that vanpooling serves a specialized market - long-distance commute trips - which are not well served by other transportation modes. Vanpooling is one of the most economical and environmentally-friendly forms of commuter transportation, and compares well with other air quality programs in terms of costeffectiveness. The potential market for vanpooling in the Lower Mainland is 1% of all work trips, which would reduce automobile use by 3,000 vehicles daily and 70 million vehicle kilometres per year. This would reduce pollutant emissions by 1,700 tonnes per year.
