#ZIPCAR PORTLAND HOW TO#

Members have access to hundreds of late-model cars, trucks, SUVs, and more, not only in their home cities, but everywhere that Zipcars live.

Zipcar is an international carsharing service with vehicles across the United States and Canada.

There are over 30 vanpools currently operating in the Portland metro area. A vanpool needs 5 to 15 commuters including a qualified driver. Vanpooling is a highly efficient and cost effective ride to work. Metro is now providing discounts on vanpools to work sites in the Portland metro area with MetroвЂ™s approved vanpool leasing companies. The parking operators will need to know your employer contact information for billing.Д¬ompanies that offer at least at $10 subsidy per month through CarpoolCheck or other carpool subsidy programs are also eligible for TriMet's Emergency Ride Home program. The parking facility will then bill your company for each voucher received. Then distribute the CarpoolChecks so employees can submit them (with the balance of the payment due) to their parking facility each month.

Call TriMet at 50 to create the CarpoolChecks after you have determined a monthly subsidy amount. Most of the operators in the downtown area will accept CarpoolChecks.

The program offers discounted rates for parking in the downtown, Lloyd Center, and South Waterfront for carpools and vanpools.Д¬arpoolCheck allows companies to pay part of their employees' carpool parking costs at selected parking locations in downtown Portland where there is a monthly parking fee.
