Share-a-Ride is a free, computerized service that can match commuters who work in southeastern Pennsylvania with convenient transit services, potential car pool and vanpool groups, even walking and bicycling opportunities. Even employers can get on board by locating matches just for employees at a specific site(s).
Emergency Ride Home (ERH) service is a “safety net” for commuters working in southeastern Pennsylvania who share their ride to work (carpool, vanpool, transit) on a regular basis. In the event of an unexpected personal or family emergency or illness, unscheduled overtime, or if the regular ride home is not available for certain reasons, registered commuters are provided with a free ride to home, their car or to the place of the emergency.
RideECO is the commuter benefit program from DVRPC. ECO means Easy Commute Options that can save you time and money. As always, RideECO allows employers and commuters to save by putting pre-tax dollars towards fares on many modes of public transportation.
