Consider using a commute option
to reduce pollution, decrease traffic congestion and enjoy a stress-free
ride to work.
Commute Options
 Carpool
By sharing a ride with one or more people, you can save money on
gas, tolls and parking because passengers share these expenses with
fellow carpool members. Carpoolers can choose to ride with others
as few or as many times per week as desired, giving them the flexibility
of driving their own car for pre-arranged meetings or appointments.
If you sign up for a rideshare program, we'll provide you with a
personalized computer matchlist of people who live and work near
you. And we'll give you tips on how to form a carpool. Then it's
up to you.
Vanpool
If your commute is lengthy (over 15 miles one way), Bay
Area Vanpool may be right for you. Click the Bay Area Vanpool
link to learn more about vanpooling.
 Public
Transit
Riding the bus is a great alternative to riding alone. Contact HART
in Hillsborough County (813-254-4278), PSTA
in Pinellas County (727-540-1800), PCPT
in Pasco County (727) 834-3200, or The
Bus of Hernando County (352-754-4444) for route and schedule
information. Their rates are affordable and you can sit back and
relax.
Biking
Florida has great weather year round. So why not enjoy the great
outdoors on your way to work? The expense of bicycling is nothing
compared to driving alone. Click
here for a list of Bicycle Pools. For those days of unexpected
rain, you can load your bike on a bus and get home with the "Bikes
on Buses" program. Buses now have racks so your bike can accompany
you, or take advantage of the bike lockers and racks located at
many bus stops. To find out more about the "Bikes on Buses"
program, contact your local public transit agency.
Walking
If you live close to work, why not walk? Sometimes it takes less
time to walk to work than it does to drive. And, it's great exercise!
Telework
How would you like to go to work and not even leave your house?
Try teleworking. This modern commute option is quickly catching
on, and there are many benefits and cost savings. In many cases
the equipment to facilitate this option is a minimal investment.

Compressed
Work Week
Would you like to work four days a week, every week? Many companies
and employees are favorable to four ten hours/day
work weeks. This alternative can cut fuel consumption and traffic
by as much as 20 percent.
Flexible Work Week
Due to constraints, some companies cannot offer a compressed work
week. Another option would be for them to slide your schedule so
that you are not driving to and from work during the peak rush hour
times. This could save you time and money by not burning gas while
idling in traffic. Imagine driving to work in less time with less
stress!

with a Customer Service Representative. You will receive a FREE
confidential computerized matchlist of other prospective rideshare

Emergency
Ride Home
The Emergency Ride Home (ERH) Program ensures that you'll never
be stranded at work. If you carpool, vanpool, ride the bus, bicycle
or walk to work at least two (2) days a week, you may be eligible
for a FREE* (or low cost) taxi ride home. The ERH Program will pay
for your ride home in the following cases:
- Personal or family emergency
- Unscheduled overtime
- Sickness
- Carpool/Vanpool partners have an emergency
It's easy to use! Register for the ERH Program
by calling BACS at 1-800-998-RIDE (7433). Once registered, you'll
receive a ERH I.D. card. The I.D. card, along with a ERH voucher
and a picture I.D., is all you need for your emergency trip home.
The voucher lists names and numbers of participating taxi companies.
Complete your section of the voucher, have it signed by your supervisor
and give it to the driver. That's all you have to do. And you can
use the ERH Program up to eight (8) times a year!** To register,
complete the form.
* Customers will have the first $100 of their
taxi fare paid. Anything in excess of $100 will be billed to the
employee.
** You must re-register for the ERH Program
every year.
