Monthly Van Cost
Use this calculator to estimate your monthly payment as a CalVans participant. If you aren’t sure whether you qualify for some of the subsidies offered, move your mouse over the help link for a description of them, and then be sure to include applicable subsidies in your calculation.
All CalVans vanpools base the cost per trip on the number of passengers and distance traveled. (The more riders, the less each rider pays.) The Agency bills the driver on a monthly basis to recover all costs. The driver divides the bill among the passengers, collects the payments from each rider, and forwards them to the Agency every month. The payments cover the Agency’s cost of maintaining and insuring the vans, as well as the cost of replacing them when they wear out. To access our Cost Savings Calculator, click here.
