| Since the early 1970’s carpooling has become the number one recognized alternative to getting to work alone. At the Contra Costa Centre carpools account for the fastest growing group of commuters. The carpool program is less formal than the vanpool program, however, the benefits are just as tangible. |

Carpools, which are a group of two to five people, can be formed in a short amount of time and have a maximum amount of flexibility. Carpools are also able to utilize the HOV diamond lanes and pass through toll lanes over bridges free of charge in many circumstances.
