Join the Emergency Ride Home Program through Commute Smart Northwest

Spokane County employers affected by the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Law or voluntarily participating in a CTR program can join the Emergency Ride Home (ERH) program at any time. In order to participate, an employer complete a ERH application form (insert link to form) and sign a 3-year ERH Program Agreement with Spokane County.

The agreement details the responsibilities of each party. Once the Agreement is signed, it needs to be returned to Spokane County, c/o Commute Smart Northwest with an initial deposit check (payable to Spokane County) and we'll set you up as a participant in the Emergency Ride Home Program through Commute Smart Northwest. A minimum of $200 is required.

All participating worksites must designate a ERH Coordinator and back up coordinator(s) and will receive all the information and materials needed to implement, promote and manage the Emergency Ride Home program at your worksite.

The key to the Emergency Ride Home Program is flexibility. Within a broad set of policies, the program allows operational decisions to be made by the employer in response to the unique needs of their worksite.
