Share a Van, Save a BundleA vanpool is a group of seven to fifteen people who live more than twenty miles from work and commute together on a regular basis in a van.

TelecommutingTelecommuting simply means performing your normal work duties at a location away from the conventional office. This remote location can be your home or an office closer to home. Telecommuting can occur in many different forms. Most telecommuters do it once or twice a week. Some telecommuters do it nearly every day, rarely venturing into the office. And some people just telecommute occasionally, in order to meet an important deadline without office interruptions.
