Participating employers include Palisades Tahoe, Granite Peak Management, Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal and Everline Resort and Spa.

About the Program This program reduces the cost of vanpools for businesses and individual riders and increases the vanpool subsidy available to commuters through the existing Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County Smart Trips program. The program helps address regional transportation needs while helping preserve the local natural environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and traffic congestion. Vanpool vehicles are provided through Commute with Enterprise. All commuter vans include 24/7 insurance coverage, 24/7 emergency roadside assistance, customer service support, maintenance, fuel card, and downtime credit. All-wheel drive vehicles are available through the program. A guaranteed ride home program is also provided through the Washoe RTC Smart Trips program, allowing participants to receive reimbursement if they have an emergency during the work day and must find alternative transportation home.    The North Tahoe Community Alliance is proud to contribute to funding of the North Lake Tahoe Workforce Vanpool through the TOT-TBID Dollars At Work Program.      |
