The report discusses ridesharing as an energy efficient mode of transportation. Broadly defined, ridesharing means two or more individuals traveling by a common mode of transportation. This report focuses on vanpooling, a form of ridesharing which enables 7 to 14 passengers to share rides to and from their work sites. The first section of the report highlights the various types of vanpools in operation across the country. Three types of vanpool programs exist: employer-based vanpools, third-party vanpools and employee owned and operated vanpools. That section is then followed by a summary of federal involvement in ridesharing. After that, the actions that various states have taken to encourage ridesharing are discussed. The last section of the report summarizes ridesharing efforts in New York, concluding with a number of recommendations aimed at rapidly increasing the number of vanpools in the state.
