Guaranteed Ride Home® Program

Guaranteed Ride Home is an emergency ride home service provided by the Denver Regional Council of Governments through its Way to Go program. It encourages employees to use transportation options other than driving alone by providing a ride home if an emergency occurs while at work. The Guaranteed Ride Home® program can be easily added to purchases of RTD's Eco Pass for a small additional cost. Adding Guaranteed Ride Home® to employee Eco Passes allows employees to feel more confident choosing transit. At a reasonable price, employers can purchase it as a stand-alone service.
