The 18-month pilot project aims to create more efficient use of vehicle capacity.

SamTrans is launching a program that will allow member organizations to find and borrow vehicles at reasonable rates.
The Peninsula Fleet Share Program, an 18-month pilot project, aims create more efficient use of vehicle capacity through a program that allows members to sign up for service, then search out the types and sizes of vehicles that meet their needs through an online registry.
The program is being funded through a combination of grant and matching funds.
