For Monterey County users:

Commute Alternatives, a program of the Association for Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG), provides a guaranteed ride home in an emergency to registered users who use alternative transportation to get to work.

The EGRH program is available to commuters who live or work in Monterey County and who ride the bus, car pool, vanpool, ride a bicycle or walk to work at least one day a week.

In order to participate, you must first register with Commute Alternatives by calling:
(831) 422-POOL (7665).

This service will reimburse you up to $60 for a ride in a taxi or a rental car in case of an emergency, such as personal illness or a sick family member, a serious problem at a child's school or day care, or if you have to unexpectedly work late at the request of your supervisor.
