Reimbursed Ride Home

Reimbursed Ride Home is a benefit available only to faculty and staff 
U-PASS holders.  Faculty and staff who experience an emergency and whose usual transportation is unavailable when they must leave campus can call a taxi cab and be reimbursed for 90 percent of the fare up to 50 miles per quarter. In 1998-99, an average of ten faculty and staff members used the program each month. The average number of participants has declined over the years, but the average trip length has risen 40 percent and the average fare paid has increased by 77 percent.
