Guaranteed Ride Home Program
GRH is a commuter incentive program that has a very specific purpose. It is designed to reduce commuters’ worry of being stranded at work when they leave their car at home and commute by some alternative to an SOV (Single-Occupant Vehicle). The GRH works like an insurance policy--insurance against getting stranded at work when you choose not to drive alone. If an emergency occurs during the day, this program will provide employees transportation home via either taxi or rental car Monday through Friday, generally within 30 minutes of notification. Certain restrictions apply. Employees must commute by rideshare, transit, bicycle, or walking two or more days a week to be eligible, and pre-register by clicking here.
Rideshare
The Rideshare Program tries to match employees with other employees who have similar commuting patterns to form carpools. Share the travel costs of gas and tolls, and save more than 50 percent of your commuting cost. To register for the ridematching database, click here, and create a profile to see your matches. Get preferred parking, where available!

Transportation Events

Vanpool Start Up Assistance
A vanpool is a group of seven to 15 people who commute to and from work together in a van. Members of the vanpool group share the same commute and similar work hours. A vanpool seat can cost from $100 to $150 per month depending on the length of your commute and the number of people in your vanpool. However, this is usually 75 percent less than what you may be paying to drive alone!& Each passenger pays a monthly fare to ride in the van. Fares are used to cover all the costs of operating the vanpool such as the vehicle, insurance, fuel, tolls and parking. If you are interested in starting a vanpool, TransAction and your Transportation Coordinator will help you market the vanpool to your peers in order to raise interest and acquire participants.
