Yes, if the vanpool is registered with WMATA (Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority – METRO), DOD employees riding in the vanpool may receive transit benefits (Metrocheks). The Metrocheks would be signed over to the vanpool operator/owner. Please note that vanpool owner/operators are NOT eligible to receive benefits. To contact METRO regarding vanpool registration, call 202-962-1326 or visit their web site at http://www.wmata.com. If you have any questions regarding Pentagon vanpools and your parking permit, contact the Pentagon Parking Office at (703) 697-6251.

Yes, if the vanpool meets the guidelines stated in Title 26, United States Code, Section 132(f). The vehicle must be owned and operated by either public transit authorities (commercial) or by a private vendor in the business of transporting persons for compensation or hire.
