PROGRAM:

Emergency Ride Home

The Emergency Ride Home program administered through our agency offers local employees and community senior center members a free ride taxi ride home in case of emergency.

Our agency initially developed this program in the early 1990’s, when it was realized that the number one concern of people willing to use alternative transportation was being stranded without a car in case of emergency.

By offering this program, we are providing “insurance” to people who use alternative transportation. In this way we are reassuring them that they will not be left stranded if they do try an alternative to single occupancy driving, thereby encouraging the use of alternative transportation in our County.
