Emergency Ride Home
The Emergency Ride Home reimbursement program is for Central Florida commuters that use an alternative commute mode, like carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, or biking, at least two times a week to get to work.
The first step is to register your alternative commute with reThink. If you have to leave work due to an emergency, reThink would then reimburse the cost of your ride home, whether it was a cab, a rental car, or a friend picking you up. reThink wants you to know that you have a back-up plan in case of an emergency!
If you have any questions about this program, please contact us toll-free at 1-866-610-RIDE (7433). |
