Guaranteed Ride Home

This peace-of-mind program provides all benefited DU employees holding a valid Eco Pass a free taxi ride home in case of an emergency, illness, or unexpected schedule change. Designed to encourage DU employees to try alternative transportation, GRH provides employees with a free back-up ride through Yellow Cab or Metro Taxi when they cannot utilize their normal method of getting home (carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, walking, etc.).

Situations in which this program can be used include an employee's or family member's illness, working late unexpectedly, missing a usual ride home or other emergency situations. The program is not designed to be used for instances when an employee could have scheduled transportation beforehand.

To use GRH, call 303.871.RIDE (303.871.7433).
