Guaranteed Ride Program
As a Green Commuter, if you need to leave work early for an emergency, you are not stuck! UC Davis Health has partnered with 50 Corridor TMA + Sacramento TMA to bring additional transportation benefits to our employees and students in the Green Commuter Program.
The Guaranteed Ride Program will cover trips to or from work in the event of an emergency. These rides must be commute-related, so origin or destination should be your work address. This great service is available up to 5 times per calendar year to assist when the need arises.
All Green Commuters are eligible to register with NorCal GO. The website also provides an interactive way to track your daily trips throughout the year and see what impact your efforts have on the environment.
Register now at norcalgo.org to access this benefit.
