Orange County Transportation Authority Vanpool (OC Vanpool) is a mobile application designed for vanpool coordinators to enable them to report trips taken and expenses incurred in an easier and more efficient way. The OC Vanpool app is fully integrated with the OC Vanpool web site and both can be used interchangeably based on preference. Vanpooling is a method of transportation that allows long distance commuters the ability to save money, time and stress on their commute by forming a “super carpool” with coworkers. Vanpool groups that go to Orange County can receive up to $400 worth of assistance per month to increase their savings.
