The Citizens for Modern Transit Guaranteed Ride Home benefit for registered MetroLink, bus, bicycle or walking commuters has been raised to $60 per ride as of Jan. 1, 2008.

The CMT Guaranteed Ride Home Program allows all registered commuters who work for participating employers to receive up to 4 emergency rides home per year. CMT will pay 80% of the cost of the ride home up to $60. This amount has been raised from the previous $40 limit. The subsidized cab rides home provide a security blanket for those commuters who choose to use an alternative mode of transportation. More than 150 employers are now offering the Guaranteed Ride Home for transit, bicyle and walking commuters.

Employers who have recently signed on to the program include Anheuser-Busch Companies, Macy’s, Monsanto Company, the College School, and the U.S. Attorney’s office. To find out if your employer offers the Guaranteed Ride Home Program, visit www.cmt-stl.org.
