Ride Home Rewards Overview
The ConnectingVA Ride Home Reward Program is a valuable resource for commuters who use transportation options other than driving alone to get to work, providing peace of mind and a reliable way home when unexpected situations arise.
This program provides a free ride home or to a commuter’s vehicle when they’ve carpooled, vanpooled, rode transit or a commuter/passenger train to work should they have an unexpected emergency while at work.
Unexpected emergencies are illness, unscheduled overtime (no advance warning), sickness of an immediate family member (child, spouse, parent) or their carpool or vanpool left early. Join and download the app today to ensure eligibility.
