Vehicle Trip Sheet Instructions The purpose of completing this form is to provide NJ Transit with accurate one-way mileage for each individual participating in the vanpool. It may be easiest to complete some of the information either at home or at the work site, before the trip actually begins. For example, participants names, their boarding locations(both in the AM and the PM) and their drop-off location(both AM and PM) essentially remain unchanged from day to day. Therefore, this information could be completed ahead of time, leaving only the odometer readings to be completed during the trip. Each individual must be listed on a separate line in the column titled "Rider's Name." You will find it easiest to group riders who share the same origin and destination together. Then, when each individual gets in the van, record the odometer reading in the second column titled "Pick-up odometer reading." When the first person is dropped off, record the odometer reading in the 4th column titled "Drop-off odometer reading." Be sure to check whether the person is a regular or occasional rider. See the Vanpool Sponsorship Program Application Instructions for definitions of "regular" and "occasional" riders. Then, calculate the actual one-way mileage of each individual in the van by substracting the pick-up odometer reading from the drop-off odometer reading and record it in the final column titles "Miles." Be sure you complete both sides of this two-sided Vehicle Trip Sheet, recording both your morning and afternoon mileages. |
