This peace-of-mind program guarantees employees a FREE taxi ride home in case of an emergency, illness or unexpected schedule change. The Guaranteed Ride Home program is a DRCOG Commuter Services service designed to encourage the use of alternative transportation to the worksite by employees. It provides employees with a free back-up ride home through Yellow Cab and Metro Taxi when they cannot utilize their normal method of getting home, e.g. carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, bicycling, walking, etc.

Situations in which this program can be used include an employee's or family member's illness, working late unexpectedly, missing a usual ride home or other emergency situations. Examples of occurrences for which the program is not designed include pre-scheduled doctor or other appointments, transportation of injured employees and other instances where the employee could have scheduled transportation beforehand.

The process for acquiring a ride varies from employer to employer; contact your company’s employee transportation coordinator for details.

Guaranteed Ride Home is offered as an added benefit of several other programs, such as VanPool and RTD’s Eco Pass, or can be purchased as a reasonably priced stand-alone service. Contact Transportation Solutions for more information at 303.377.7086.
