Emergency Ride Home Program

Registered Ride On commuters participating in an alternative commute at least three days per week are eligible to call one of our approved Emergency Ride Home Program providers listed above. Ride On Commuter Services will provide up to four (4) free rides home (per calendar year) for each individual commuter registered with our program. ERHP participants will be given a card to identify themselves to providers. Alternative commutes include carpool, vanpool, public transit, bicycle, and pedestrian modes. The following details outline the roles expected from participating employers, employee-participants, transportation providers, and Ride On commuter services in coordinating ERHP services.
