This winter, take the TRAIN to work
PACE has introduced the Metra Feeder vanpool program, which provides vans to groups of four to get from a train station to their workplace and back. Taking into account all costs and tax benefits, the commute from Chicago Union Station to Fermilab, for example, would cost approximately $130 a month, including train ticket, van and parking. The cost is less for the driver or backup driver of the van, which remains at the train station overnight.
To voice your interest in this program or any other rideshare options, please post a message on the Car- and Vanpool WebBoard, accessible for Fermilab employees and users at www.fnal.gov/faw/vanpool/
