Now you don’t have to worry about being without a car when you use alternative commute options.  Register today, and you may qualify for up to five taxi rides home from work or to your car if an unexpected event occurs.

Who Qualifies?

The GRH program provides an unscheduled ride home (or to your car) for commuters who carpool, vanpool, bike, or take transit to get to work. You must register by completing and signing the program application prior to needing service. Your employment and worksite location may be verified. You will be eligible for the program after the application has been completely processed by RideSmart and you have been sent a confirmation letter.

■ You or your carpool /vanpool partner needs to leave work early unexpectedly and you are stranded; or
■ You or your carpool /vanpool partner needs to work mandatory unscheduled overtime and you do not have
a way to get home or to your car.
