"The best part of riding in a vanpool is the wear and tear on my personal vehicle. The mileage that I am saving is just ridiculous. I am also saving anywhere from $500 to $600 a month on gas. I drive from Stockton to Palo Alto Veterans Affairs, which is 89 miles one way."
Although many employers were still operating from a remote work environment, vanpool formation remained strong across all three counties. San Joaquin experienced a 62% increase in vanpools with most vanpools commuting to employer sites such as Tesla and the Defense Distribution Center in Tracy.

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.

Takeaways
To better understand how COVID-19 impacted commuters’ mindset regarding Smart Travel, dibs surveyed over people from San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced Counties in partnership with the National Association of Commuter Transportation and TDM peers in Central California.
