Emergency Ride Home Program

Whether you carpool, vanpool, bike, walk or ride the bus, you never have to worry about being stranded in an emergency situation when you sign up for the Emergency Ride Home program (ERH). Just register with RideFinders, and you’ll receive a free, reliable ride home if you ever have to unexpectedly leave work early or stay at work late.

BENEFITS

  • Rideshare worry-free—it feels good knowing that you always have a safe and convenient way to get home if you ever have an emergency
  • Save money—your first three rides each year are free, and any additional rides you may need are only $5 each, no matter where your home destination is
  • Avoid hassles—you’ll never have to struggle to find a co-worker to take you home in an emergency
  • It’s fast—when you need to get somewhere right away, ERH can be much faster than waiting around for another ride

511 TRAVEL TIPS

  • To register for the Emergency Ride Home program, you must rideshare to work at least three days per week and sign up at http://www.ridefinders.com—you’ll receive an information booklet and an ERH card that you can keep at work and refer to if you ever need to change your ridesharing plans

  • From 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m., call RideFinders at 804-643-RIDE
