Healthy Commuter Benefits
Do you primarily walk, bike, ride transit, or carpool to work? Our Healthy Commuter Benefits make it easier to do so and are a way for us to thank you for making a choice that’s good for you, the environment, and your community! Whether you’re part-time, full-time, or a student on campus, the following programs are for you.
Guaranteed Ride Home Program
This free program reimburses healthy sustainable commuters who carpool, vanpool, ride transit, bike, or walk, up to 2 times per month for an emergency ride home or wherever they need to be. In the event that you cannot get home your normal way, commuters can use Uber, Lyft, or taxi and we will reimburse you up to $50 per ride, up to $200 per year. Eligible reimbursements include issues such as your carpool driver having to leave work early, a sick child, staying at work late past public transit operations hours, and so on.
Benefits
- You are always covered when you need it
- Reimbursement up to $50 if you need to take a cab
- Up to $200, or 4 times each year
