Commuter Connections provides complimentary information on a host of commuter programs to assist in determining which commuting option works best for you.

The Ridesharing Program allows you to find out about others who live and work near you, have similar work schedules, and are interested in carpooling and/or vanpooling to and from work. Commuter Connections’ state-of-the-art ridesharing technology allows you to view an interactive and comprehensive list of all potential ridesharing partners in your area. Over 20,000 commuters rely on Commuter Connections to provide free up-to-the-minute ridesharing information at no cost.

Signing up for Ridesharing also allows you to use your account to pinpoint the closest transit stop to your home and work, closest park and ride lot, and closest telework center. Telework, bicycling, and walking information is also available through the Commuter Connections web site.

If you carpool, vanpool, use public transportation, or bicycle or walk to work two or more days a week, Commuter Connections will get you home in the event of an emergency as part of the Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program. GRH allows you peace of mind and is regarded as an “insurance policy” in the event you experience an unexpected personal or family emergency or unscheduled overtime. Some restrictions apply, so be sure to read through the GRH program participation guidelines.

Commuter Connections maintains a strict privacy policy. All personal information provided to Commuter Connections will remain confidential. Commuter Connections will never share or sell your information to outside organizations or companies.

Stuck At Work? Take A Free Ride Home

Guaranteed Ride Home (otherwise known as GRH) provides commuters who regularly (twice a week) carpool, vanpool, bike, walk or take transit to work with a FREE and reliable ride home when one of life’s unexpected emergencies arise.

Commuters may take advantage of GRH up to six times per year to get home for unexpected emergencies such as a personal illness or a sick child. GRH can also be used for unscheduled overtime when your employer mandates that you must stay late.

GRH Image Feb 2025

GRH is designed to rescue commuters who are worried about how they’ll get home when an emergency arises. Knowing there’s a guaranteed ride home allows one to use commuting options like transit and carpools with peace of mind and confidence. Best of all, the GRH service is FREE! Ready to join the GRH program?

Some restrictions apply so be sure to read the PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES or call us at 1-800-745-RIDE.
