GoTriangle ERH Program
It's the highest priority for the Emergency Ride Home (ERH) program to get our smart commuters home in case of an emergency. For commuters who are transit riders, carpoolers, vanpoolers, walkers, and cyclists, should you have an emergency like sudden personal or family illness, ERH provides a trip home from work.
Emergency Ride Home (ERH) is available when:
- You or an immediate family member gets sick or has a severe
crisis
- Your carpool driver has to unexpectedly leave early or stay late
- You must work unscheduled overtime
If you need to pick up your sick child or pick up medication, you may make a side trip on the way home. ERH is at your service so you never have to worry about finding a ride when you need it most.
Registering is easy, and the ride is free!
After you register on Share the Ride NC (by selecting the Register button at the top of this page), you will be able to schedule an Emergency Ride Home trip by connecting with a specialist at the Regional Information Center at 919-485-RIDE (7433).
To qualify for ERH, you must:
- Be a part-time or full-time employee*
- Work in Durham, Orange or Wake counties
- Have shared a ride, taken the bus, biked or walked to work on the day the ride is needed.
You can only schedule an Emergency Ride Home trip on the day of the emergency. Detailed instructions for the
service will be provided once you register. ERH users are responsible for the taxi driver's tip.
