Carpool & Vanpool

Park & Ride Lots

Park and ride lots are intended for commuters who carpool, vanpool, or utilize public transportation. These are designated parking spaces where you can park your car during your work hours while sharing a ride with others to your work location.

There are two park and ride lots located in Leland, which offer free all-day parking. Carpoolers are encouraged to get permission to utilize safe and convenient parking locations such as
shopping centers and public office spaces.

Our friends at PART in the Piedmont Triad have developed this how-to video if you need some pointers on getting started:

Vanpool

Vanpooling is an organized effort eligible for groups of 5-15 commuters. The employer or employees pay a monthly fare for the service, in which approved drivers operate 7- to 15-passenger vans for the group; drivers may take turns to share driving responsibilities.

If you would like your employer to implement a vanpool for you and your co-workers please contact us to be added to an interest list.
