Abstract
A survey of vanpool coordinators and riders was conducted in losangeles during 1988-1989. The specific issue was to understand the commuting behavior of the existing vanpool members and to identify the major concerns of vanpool program coordinators. The benefits of vanpooling to the rider, the employer, and the community are considerable. The family role may also be increasing vanpool program attractiveness.
