Commute Options launches new vanpool program; subsidy offered for new riders
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) A new vanpool program is available for commuters across Deschutes County.
It s meant to help groups of five or more workers who share a similar commute and schedule.
“We basically form up a group that is coming from the same area around the same time and even during COVID a cohort that is already working together,” said Kim Curley, community engagement coordinator for Commute Options.
Each rider pays a set fee per month, which covers gas, insurance and repairs. The price depends on the number of riders and the distance of the commute.

Commute Options joins groups urging more federal investments in public transit
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) On Thursday, in recognition of Earth Day, 34 Oregon transit, environmental, housing and community organizations, including Commute Options in Bend, sent a letter to Oregon s congressional delegation, urging them to increase federal investments in public transit “so that all Americans have access to high-quality, safe, affordable, and reliable public transit service and transit-friendly communities.”
“Reinventing the future of public transit infrastructure is key to tackling climate change,” the letter reads. “Over 28 percent of greenhouse gases in the U.S. come from transportation and in Oregon it is more than 40 percent making it the largest contributor of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Now is the time to invest in the public transit infrastructure for the future.”
