Guaranteed Ride Home from the T

It's simple and you stay connected!

The T's Guaranteed Ride Home Program (GRHP)

The Guaranteed Ride Home Program will give you a quick "connection" to get home or back to a Park & Ride lot if an emergency arises and the T's normal service routes and schedule can not return you. Typical examples of these emergencies are sick children, unexpected overtime, etc.

Who can use this program? Vanpool, E Pass and Monthly Pass holders are eligible for the Guaranteed Ride Home Program.

Guaranteed Ride Home benefit may be used
up to 2 times within a 3-month period.

For example: If you use a GRH Trip in May and another one in June, then you must wait until August to use your GRH benefit again.

(Your 1st trip taken determines when additional trips may be taken.)

1) Get A Calling Card

You need a GRHP Calling Card that identifies you as a participant. If you are an eligible participant and do not already have a GRHP Calling Card, call 817-336-RIDE (7433) to be issued a card.

2) Call for a Ride

When an emergency arises, call the number on your GRHP Card. The dispatcher will ask for your name and phone number and where you are to be picked up and dropped off. Request a wheelchair accessible vehicle if needed.

3) Show Your Card

When Yellow Cab arrives to pick you up, the driver will ask to see your GRHP Calling Card. Be prepared to show your current E PASS or Monthly Pass. Vanpool participants may be asked for their vanpool van number. Each registered Guaranteed Ride Home participant is eligible to use his/her card two times in a three-month period.

4) Co-Pay

You pay the driver a $5.00 co-pay and The T covers the balance.
