The Guaranteed Ride Home program ensures that you have a ride if you need it – for example, if you have a family issue or need to work unexpected hours.
So relax! Take the bus or train, carpool, vanpool, bike or walk to work and know that you have a Guaranteed Ride Home.
How does it work?
Complete a free online registration. If you took the bus or train, shared the ride in a carpool or vanpool, bicycled or walked and need a ride home, you’re covered!
Registered program participants can use a Guaranteed Ride Home up to four times per year or $100 in value, whichever comes first. For example, if your Guaranteed Ride Home is on a bus, you can be reimbursed for four trips during a year. If you choose a cab ride, your fare will be reimbursed up to an annual amount of $100.
Who is eligible?
Commuters who ride the bus, light rail or Northstar, or carpool, vanpool, bicycle or walk to work or school at least three times per week are eligible. To participate, you must have an e-mail address and internet access.
