Metro adopts five-year plan to bring back vanpools for commuters
The plan is a five-year roadmap to restart vanpooling in the Portland region, where 5 to 12 people share a van to ride to work. Metro will help promote a new state vanpool program run by the Oregon Department of Transportation and study who could run a lasting regional program later. The region has had no formal vanpool program since Metro ended its subsidies in 2012.
