EMERGENCY RIDE HOME

One of the most common reasons people give for not trying commute options is the fear of being stranded at work or unable to get home quickly in an emergency. The Emergency Ride Home program takes the fear out of leaving your car at home. If you are registered as a carpool, vanpool, transit, bike or walk participant in the Commuter Services database, you may be eligible for the Emergency Ride Home program.

Commuter Services will reimburse up to four rides per year via taxi or rental car; we'll even reimburse mileage for a co-worker who drives you home. The program can only be used for personal and family emergencies or unscheduled overtime at the request of your supervisor. It is not intended for rides to work, scheduled appointments or planned overtime. Please make sure your company is Partnered with Commuter Services and offering the Emergency Ride Home, before requesting use of the program.
