"I started using the dibs vanpool as soon as I found out Tesla offered it. And I was immediately blown away with not only the ease of use with the program and the app. But also, the help and customer service enterprise provides. Using the vanpool and sharing the responsibilities of driving between other drivers makes the 114-mile round trip so much easier, and honestly, a lot of fun."
Although many employers were still operating from a remote work environment, vanpool formation remained strong across all three counties. Merced experienced a 62% increase in vanpools with most vanpools commuting to employer sites such as Tesla.

Although many employers shifted to a remote work environment, many Central Valley commuters continued to travel to the work site. And as more commuters return to the work site, dibs continued to promote Rideshare week to support transit use and ridesharing while emphasizing the need for safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19

Bike month serves as a way to get people walking and biking for health and wellness as well as an easy way to get people to try out short-distance travelling outside of a car. Bike Month has been a staple of the dibs program and one of our most popular with dibs users and our community. With health and wellness as important as ever, we kept that tradition going with a fun BINGO challenge for a virtual community event.

Dibs goal is to reduce single occupant vehicle (SOV) travel by promoting the use of sustainable transportation: walking, biking, taking public transit, and ridesharing. In the last few years, businesses had to adapt and while many employees worked from home, many were considered essential workers boosting demand for vanpools. The team refocused the program’s efforts to meet the needs of the commuters while also planning to mitigate the rise in SOV travel when businesses reopen their doors. This included the development of a Return-to-Work Survey, a Telework Resource Page, Employer Video, Commuter Video, Vanpool Webinar and adapted annual events and marketing campaigns.
In 2021, dibs surveyed registered members to determine what’s the impact of dibs; how has the program impacted travelers; and how their travel behavior has changed as a result of dibs.
