TRUCKEE, Calif. — The town of Truckee, in partnership with Commute with Enterprise, has launched a new vanpool pilot program to provide commuters with a flexible, cost-effective and sustainable transportation alternative between Truckee and Reno.

Each van is managed by Commute with Enterprise and includes 24-hour roadside assistance, with all-inclusive pricing that covers fuel, insurance, maintenance and repairs. To keep expenses low, riders split the monthly costs.
Funding is available for 18 to 19 vanpools and early sign-ups may receive support through mid-2026, while later groups will be funded based on remaining grant availability.
As part of the program, the town of Truckee is offering an $800 monthly subsidy per vanpool to make shared commuting more affordable for workers within the incorporated town limits. It complements an existing $400 monthly subsidy from the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County. Each vanpool is eligible for 12 months of the town-provided subsidy…
