In addition, there are only four van pools (~ 28 people) for the entire building, and they are usually used only by employees who live more than 50 miles away.
Personally, I think people would adapt (they'd have to), but Old Mech's right... it might hurt.

In you situation I think I would get a Sprinter and get it filled with riders using Craigslist. Maybe 15 passengers to spread out the cost, especially if I was one of those who had a long drive to work.
For personal use I would buy a Leaf for my wife and I to use locally.
It would definitely hurt, home values in rural areas would collapse beyond where they are now. Used car values would collapse. Two of the most valuable family assets, as well as the cost of transportation. Truckers would be dumping their rigs as they were when diesel hit $4 a gallon here in 2008.
