Vanpooling

NC State, in conjunction with Triangle Transit(formally TTA), offers a vanpool service for commuters. Vanpools are started with 7 riders, of which one volunteers to drive the van. The cost for vanpooling is economical because the driver is not paid but is one of the commuting members. The primary driver rides FREE and receives a designated number of free monthly miles to drive the van for personal use. Vanpoolers receive 24 FREE daily parking permits annually. These passes can be used for parking on campus on days that a member must bring his or her own vehicle. Additional daily permits can be purchased for only $6 each.

The Advantages of Vanpooling:

  • A $15 monthly subsidy for each rider
  • 24 FREE daily permits per NCSU passenger (prorated annually)
  • TTA vans park on campus for FREE
  • Reduces air pollution
  • Reduces wear & tear on personal vehicles
  • Relaxing, fun ride to work
  • Emergency Ride Home Assistance

For more information visit the Triangle Transit Vanpooling Website or call (919)485-7461.

If you would like find other individuals in your area who are interested in vanpooling complete the Rideshare Match Form or check out the Vanpool Routes Forming site.

Special notes for vanpoolers:

Vanpool applicants will have to come to the Transportation office to pick up their drive-day passes. All vanpool applicants will also be cross-checked for existing permits. Vanpool participants cannot be registered in a carpool. Vanpool participants who choose to retain their existing permit will not be issued daily parking permits.
