Now van pooling is catching on too. Van pooling - unlike car pooling which is more informai - is an organized arrangement that guarantees employees a ride every day, despite someone's vacations, sickness, or the car's mechan- ical breakdowns. If a van breaks down, the driver -calis two cabs- and is reimbursed for the cost. Here's how van pooling usually works: a company, public agency, or other spon- soring group buys or leases a number of vans and provides them to employees ia the community wbo will be the drivers., Sometimes, arrange- ments are made with employ- ees who already own vans. In return for driving, the em- ployees get free transporta- tion to and fromn work and can also use the van on personal thime at a specified charge.ý Passenger fees reimburse the sponsor for most or al of the costs. Vans, which usually carry no more thian 10 people, can serve a group of commuters toc small to support a bus Une. The longer thne commute, the greatûr the cost advantages are compared to driving alone. Reserved parking places in. the company lot solve hassies where such places are in imiited supply. Cars are the chief cause of air polution, and your local lung association is interested in transportation alternatives that reduce unnecessary numbers of polluting vehicles on the road. To support the fight against air pollution, be sure you've answered your Christmas Seal letter. Your lun$ association cares about every breath you take.
