Matches are created by those with a similar schedule and by those who live in the same vicinity, or drivers may pick up other commuters along their route to campus.  You can use Ride2FGCU for any traveling, such as one-time trips for events, conferences, vacations, or for making arrangements for class field trips.   Register today to give it a try.

EMERGENCY RIDE HOME

One of the most common reasons people give for not trying other commute options is the fear of being stranded at work or unable to get home quickly in an emergency. The Emergency Ride Home Reimbursement program takes the fear out of leaving your car at home. If you are registered as a carpool, bus transit, bike, or walk participant in the Ride2FGCU database, you may be eligible to be reimbursed up to four emergency rides per year for a taxi or rental car; we'll even reimburse mileage for a co-worker who drives you home. The program can only be used for personal and family emergencies. It is not intended for rides to work, scheduled appointments or planned overtime.
