COTA is committed to ensuring that no person is denied or subject to discrimination in receipt of

services on the basis of race, color, national origin or any other characteristic prohibited by law.

What is Emergency Ride Home (ERH)?

Transit, Carpooling, vanpooling, walking, and biking are economical and sustainable ways to commute to work, but what happens if you have an emergency, become ill, or have unexpected overtime and cannot make your rideshare arrangement home from work?

Now you can register for the Emergency Ride Home (ERH) Program. In case of the unexpected, you can take a taxi home for free.

To register, simply fill out the registration form at gohiocommute.com/erh and indicate your interest in the Emergency Ride Home (ERH) Program. Program staff will screen your application and will contact you within 72 hours with an access code, if approved.

Applicants must be at least 65 years of age to apply. All reduced-fare applicants must provide a picture ID and Social Security card when applying. Seniors must show proof of age (driver’s license, State ID card or birth certificate).

Senior IDs are made at COTA’s Pass Sales office, 33 N. High St., Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. only. IDs are valid for three years.

COTA offers free travel training to senior organizations. COTA staff will come to your location to provide transit information and how-to-ride education. To schedule a COTA representative for your group, call (614) 275-5828.
