- Guaranteed Ride Home (otherwise known as
GRH) provides commuters who regularly (at least 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 four
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 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!
- Some restrictions apply so be sure to read the
PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES
- Questions? Call us at 1-800-745-RIDE.

Bad Air Days are coming. Keep informed.
From May through October, the Baltimore Region sometimes suffers from dangerously high levels of air-borne pollutants. When levels are high enough to affect your health, you need to take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Check the current air quality at http://mdeozone.info/cgi-bin/stateozone.cgi. Remember that during Code Red Air Quality it is unhealthful for even healthy adults to exert themselves outside. Codes Orange and Yellow can be dangerous for the young, elderly and anyone with asthma or other respiratory ailments.
Visit www.cleanairpartners.net for air quality reports, and to find out how Ground Level Ozone can harm you.
