commuters - tips for success
Here are some tips to keep your vanpool humming along:
  • Be on time to meet the van (this applies to drivers and riders alike)
  • Create a phone tree to ensure good communication with all riders in case of inclement weather or other short notice events. Elect a person to be the contact for early morning phone calls regarding absences or delays
  • Decide on the station or type of music you'd like to listen to in advance.
  • Have enough gas in the van for a round-trip before you leave in the morning
  • Don't make detours for personal errands
  • Refrain from smoking unless you are all smokers or have all agreed that smoking is okay
  • Keep the van clean
  • Select a responsible and enthusiastic driver
  • Create and agree upon your own "rules of the road" right from the start
