Stranded By an Emergency? Here’s a ‘Guaranteed Ride Home,’ and It’s Free

When an emergency arises, do you have a guaranteed ride home? If you are a member of Commuter Connections, you do.

And it’s free.

The Guaranteed Ride Home program is a benefit of joining Commuter Connections, a regional network of transportation organizations coordinated by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments.

When emergencies happen, such as an illness or unscheduled overtime, the Guaranteed Ride Home service does just what it says: It gets commuters home (some restrictions apply; see the website for details).

Commuter Connections members can call on the Guaranteed Ride Home service up to four times a year to assist them when they need it the most. The service is offered as a free “peace of mind insurance policy” for carpoolers and those who use public transportation.

New members can sign up for the program here. Email [email protected], or call 1-800-745-RIDE.

Commuter Connections offers free services and programs that help employees and employers throughout the region find the most cost-effective, convenient and safe commutes. Information on ridematching, public transit, HOV lane restrictions, park-and-ride lots, bicycling and teleworking are among the services Commuter Connections has been promoting since its founding in 1974.
