Guaranteed Ride Home Benefit
Knowing that even the best-laid plans can change unexpectedly, Go! Vermont created Guaranteed Ride Home, a benefit for bus riders and carpoolers. If you face an unforeseen change of plans such as a work-related or family emergency that prevents you from taking the bus or traveling via your carpool, GRH reimburses travel fees up to $70.
Here’s how it works:
- In the event that you cannot travel via your carpool or bus route, use public transportation, a taxi, rental car or CarShare, and pay for it yourself.
- Mail the original receipt(s), this Reimbursement Form, this W-9 Form, and a brief description of the situation to Go Vermont.
