Do you want to be greener but don’t know where to start? Here’s a good first step: take transit! Taking a bus, train, or ferry to work significantly reduces your carbon footprint. But don’t just take our word for it, give it a try! We at Commute.org can help employees easily make the switch. Here's how:
If you take transit to work, and you experience a qualified emergency, we will guarantee you a ride home in many circumstances. Consider it your commute insurance.
Consider it an additional benefit
. Check the eligibility list for details. Our program covers carpool and vanpool riders as well. It’s your time, so why waste it driving alone in traffic?
In order to claim your Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH), first sign up for STAR at
my.commute.org. Make sure to log your trips regularly in our STAR platform, and when an emergency arises (it happens, we know), you decide how to get home quickest. If your employees are not already covered by a similar program, we are your GRH provider for San Mateo County.
So, keep up the alternative commuting with the peace of mind that you are covered in the event of an emergency, and leave the car at home. Your ride awaits.
Get the word out! Contact the employer team (
