Guaranteed Ride Home

Program Details

You are eligible to register for the Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program if you commute for work or school within, into or out of Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga and Schenectady Counties in one of the following ways at least twice each week: walk, bike, carpool, vanpool, CDTA FLEX On Demand and/or bus. Registered CDTA Navigator card holders are also eligible. The program will provide for a maximum of six uses per year, limited to two times in any one month. Additionally, there is an annual (calendar year) cap of $300. CDTA will provide comfortable rides for our members using partnerships with Uber and taxis.

The Guaranteed Ride Home trip must begin from work and can end at home or another location (e.g. child care or park & ride lot). Emergency-related interim stops are permitted.
