If you're in a Carpool, Vanpool, Bikepool or ride TARC and an emergency happens, Guaranteed Ride Home through Ticket to Ride is your ticket home. You simply take a taxi and Ticket to Ride will reimburse you 80% of the cost of your taxi ride including tip, up to 100 miles. You may use the Guaranteed Ride Home service up to 4 times a year.

The program covers emergencies such as:

  • Your own illness
  • Your child gets sick at school or daycare
  • A family crisis that requires your immediate attention
  • Unplanned mandatory overtime

When you join the Guaranteed Ride Home program, you will receive a reimbursement form. Then, when an emergency occurs and you need to use a taxi, complete the reimbursement form, attach your taxi receipt and mail to the Ticket to Ride office.

  • You may stop to pick up a child at school or daycare.
  • Taxi fares will be reimbursed 80% for trips up to 100 miles one way.
  • You can use the Guaranteed Ride Home up to 4 times in any year.
