Vanpool Program
Vanpools are one of the most effective transportation options to reduce
congestion and improve air quality in the region. To encourage commuters to
consider a pooling option, Measure K provides each vanpool a financial
incentive. This resulted in 60 new vanpools for a total of 164.
With an average of 8 passengers, there are over 1,100 single occupancy
vehicles removed from the roadway. Vanpools accounted for 2,175,972
vehicle miles travelled in FY 19-20

Park and Ride Lots
Park and ride lots offer a convenient location to transfer from a single
passenger vehicle or bicycle to a carpool, vanpool, or transit option.
Over 70,000 residents commute outside of the county. Measure K funds
three lease lots that provide commuters a meeting place typically before
a long journey.

Excellence in Commuter Award
Each year, dibs recognizes an employer who has
demonstrated their commitment by investing in
sustainability efforts to make a difference for the
environment and for their employees. This year,
Musco Family Olive Co. was awarded the dibs ECO
(Excellence in Commuter Options) award,
recognizing their efforts in promoting transportation alternatives for their employees.
Musco Family Olive Co. has created an Employer Trip Reduction Incentive Plan which
provides a list of ways their organization offers marketing, programming and resources
that encourage use of alternatives to single occupant vehicles for the daily commute.
They are a workplace that encourages employees to also reduce their personal environmental
footprint by involving them in their sustainability initiatives. Musco has been a shining
example of how to partner with dibs by taking advantage of our print and online resources
to create awareness, and our trip planning platform to build their own incentive programs
for their employees. They are the leading supplier of table olives in America, and their
Tracy plant is the most advanced olive processing facility in the world.
