TravelWise Emergency Ride Home Reimbursement Program
Employees at a participating TravelWise workplace are eligible for Emergency Ride Home reimbursement.
If you have an unforeseen emergency on any day you commute sustainably to work, you can request reimbursement of up to $75 for your emergency transportation costs. Multiple stops/modes on a single trip can be covered (such as the roundtrip cost of a rideshare trip to your child’s school and then home, or the combined total costs of a taxi trip and a GO Transit trip).
You may only use the Emergency Ride Home Service for unplanned reasons up to four times per calendar year. Commuters who drive alone to work using their personal automobile are not eligible for the Emergency Ride Home Service. If you don’t know whether you qualify, please review the program Terms and Conditions.
Please complete this form to submit your claim.
