EMERGENCY RIDE HOME PROGRAM

What is ERH?

The Emergency Ride Home (ERH) Program is the "commuter's insurance policy." Carpooling, vanpooling, biking, walking, or taking transit to work are all better for the environment than driving alone and help reduce traffic on roadways. But what happens when someone is at work without a car and needs to get home in an emergency? ERH participants can rest assured – they’ll never be left stranded.
    • You must be an employee or member of a company or organization that participates in the ERH
    • Participants must either carpool, vanpool, bike, walk, or take transit to work (please note that your employer may require you to use one of these alternatives a minimum number of days per week).Participants must either carpool, vanpool, bike, walk, or take transit to work (please note that your employer may require you to use one of these alternatives a minimum number of days per week).
