Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) is a benefit offered by many counties and employers to take the worry of being “stranded without a car” out of ridesharing. The program provides commuters who regularly carpool, vanpool, bike, walk or take transit to work with a reliable and free ride home – usually in a taxi or rental car – when unexpected emergencies arise.
Program details, including eligibility, ride home logistics and types of emergencies covered, vary from program to program depending on what organization is administering the benefit. To find out if there is a GRH program in your home or work county, visit the County Incentives section of this website.

Personal or family emergency
Personal or family illness

Unexpected early departure of rideshare partner
