Across the region, car and van pooling and shared vehicle service options continue to grow, and this strategy focuses on sharing the latest options and information with commuters to continue to increase participation in these activities.

In 2022, staff:

Worked with partners at Smart Commute Metro North (North Metro Transportation Management Organization) and Commuting Solutions (Northwest Metro Area Transportation Management Organization)
Advertised to All City Staff of vanpool opportunity seeking riders from various locations around the region. While there was interest, no staff took advantage of this opportunity due to inconvenience in pick-up times and locations.

In 2023, Staff:

Held meetings in early February with Transportation Management Organizations including Smart Commute North and Commuting Solutions to strategize on the development of a City of Longmont van pool program and how to encourage van-pooling amongst City Staff through direct outreach. Included in this effort is the development of a regional scatterplot map showing the rough locations of where employees live throughout the location without the need for using private addresses as a way to protect employee privacy. Once the scatterplot map is produced, Transportation Planning staff will hold in-person meetings to promote van-pooling amongst staff.
