The regional ERH program pays for taxi rides home in case of an emergency for employees who commute to work by carpooling, vanpooling, riding the bus, walking, or bicycling.

This agreement outlines the guidelines for participation in the program, and failure to follow the established ERH guidelines, could result in cancellation of a company’s participation.
