#1 Concern of Commuters Considering Ride-sharing to Work:
The fear of being stranded at work without a way home.
Emergency Ride Home Program
Our Emergency Ride Home program is designed to eliminate this concern. Any Irvine Spectrum area employee, resident, or student can request an Emergency Ride Home in case of an emergency on days they rideshare to work or school. (Ridesharing is any mode aside from driving alone, e.g., train, carpool, bus, walking, etc.)
To Receive An Emergency Ride Home:
- Review the eligibility requirements below to make sure you are eligible.
- Complete the “Request Emergency Ride Home” form or call 949-727-4273 to schedule a ride. If you complete the form during regular business hours (8 a.m. - 5 p.m.), a Spectrumotion staff member will contact you within 10 minutes to schedule your ride.
If you need an emergency ride home and our office is closed, please see the reimbursement section below for instructions.
If you have questions, please call our office at 949-727-4273 or email [email protected].
Eligibility Requirements
On days you rideshare to work, you can get a free ride home in a Lyft vehicle up to four times in a running twelve-month period. Generally, any unforeseen situation that prevents you from returning home in your ridesharing mode qualifies for the Emergency Ride Home. Some examples are:
- If you or your rideshare partner becomes ill or experiences an immediate family emergency
- Unscheduled overtime requiring you or your rideshare partner to work later than planned (not scheduled prior to your commute to work)
- If there is an unscheduled stoppage of public transportation, and the operator provides no alternative transportation.
- Must complete a brief follow-up survey after the ERH.
Not sure if your situation qualifies, just contact us. We want to help you. Chances are, we can!
How it works
During Spectrumotion’s business hours (between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM), you can either call our office or submit the Request an Emergency Ride Home form, and a staff member will arrange a ride for you. If your emergency happens outside of our business hours, you can arrange the ride home yourself and complete the form to be reimbursed.
