Community Van is a flexible rideshare option that provides Sammamish residents with a new way to use public transportation by offering trips to local destinations in and outside Sammamish (up to 2 hours away). Community Van accommodates trips throughout the day, evening, and weekends. Trips can be a whatever you need, such as going to a play or concert with friends or going to the grocery store every week with a group. Community Vans are driven by volunteer drivers who are screened and approved through King County Metro’s Commuter Van program. Riders pay a standard metro fare for a round trip while the volunteer driver can ride for free.
Currently, we are seeking volunteer drivers to fulfill the volume of ride requests coming in from the community! Support your neighbors, your community and help the environment by becoming a Community Van volunteer driver. You can choose which trips you drive and the frequency.
