Who is eligible?

Commuters who ride the bus, light rail or Northstar, or carpool, vanpool, bicycle or walk to work or school at least three times per week are eligible. To participate, you must have an email address and internet access.

What type of trips are eligible?

Trips must be a part of your school or work commute. Acceptable uses include leaving work due to illness or having to pick up a sick child, having to work unexpected overtime, or if your regular carpool is not available to leave when needed.

The program cannot be used for personal errands, appointments, business-related travel or non-emergency/personal trips.

How does it work?

Complete a free online registration. Registered participants can request reimbursements up to four times per year or $100 in value, whichever comes first, for eligible trips with valid documentation.

How do I get started?

Register using the link at the bottom of this page. It’s easy and free. You’ll create an account with your commute information.

To use your ride home on a bus or train, a Go-To Card or pass is required. Use your Go-To Card or pass to pay for the ride. Within a week of the trip, log on to your account and fill out an online reimbursement request. We’ll credit your balance with the amount you paid.

To use your ride home for cab fare, call the licensed taxi provider of your choice. A Go-To Card is not required for taxi reimbursement. Pay for the ride and be sure to get a signed and dated receipt. The receipt must clearly identify the taxi company's name and phone number. Within 10 days of your ride, fill out an online reimbursement request, print the request form, sign it and submit it by mail along with your original taxi receipt. Late submissions, invalid receipts, copies of receipts and submissions from unlicensed taxis or car services will be declined. You will receive reimbursement by check by mail within 21 days after we receive the request form and receipt.
