CATACOMMUTE is a family of CATA services that includes RideShare, Vanpool, and Guaranteed Ride Home programs. These programs are designed to assist long distance commuters in finding a shared ride with someone who travels at the same time and to a relatively similar destination. The Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) program provides an emergency ride home for those in rideshare arrangements when the need arises, taking the fear out of being stranded.
