DART RideShare assists commuters
in organizing groups, providing vans, and maintaining the vanpool. Vanpooling
offers a convenient, reliable, economical and less stressful alternative to
driving alone to work.
RideShares help to reduce traffic
delays and congestion, as well as, help keep the air clean and reduce pollution
in the environment.
RideShare has eight vanpools that
originate from Indianola each morning, Monday through Friday. Commuters save
thousands of dollars a year by vanpooling. They cut their gasoline, insurance,
parking and maintenance costs by more than half.
Each vanpool can accommodate one
volunteer driver and up to 14 passengers. Each passenger pays one low monthly
fare based on van purchases, mileage, gasoline and maintenance expenses.
