Can anybody get a ride?

Faculty/staff or student commuters who have taken Wildcat Transit, a carpool, vanpool, or ride-share may use the Guaranteed Ride Home service. This service is for emergencies, not casual rides or scheduling difficulties. Participants may have up to two emergency rides per semester.
