Agricultural Worker Vanpool Program

What is the Ag Worker Vanpool Program?

The Measure C Ag Worker Vanpool Program gives subsidies and reimbursements. This helps agricultural workers pay for transportation when they use a certified Ag Worker Vanpool to reach job sites. These funds aim to create new vanpools. They also support existing ones and boost ridership.

Subsidies

Eligible subsidies for Ag worker Vanpools include a weekly lease subsidy that pays $150 per week per vanpool for up to one year. This subsidy may be renewed on an annual basis.

All groups that want to join the Ag Worker Vanpool Program must use an authorized vanpool provider or create an employer-sponsored vanpool. Owner-operator vanpools cannot receive these subsidies.

The Ag Worker Vanpool Subsidy came from the Measure C Extension Expenditure Plan. Voters approved this plan in November 2006.
