Programs to Support Your Team

Emergency Ride Home Program

We administer the Dane County Emergency Ride Home Program, which provides commuters who bike, walk, take the bus, or carpool with up to six taxi vouchers per year—each good for up to $75 per ride—to use in eligible emergencies.

Metro Transit Commute Card Program

The Metro Transit Commute Card Program allows employers to offer employees unlimited-ride Fast Fare tap cards. Rides are post-billed each month at a discounted rate of $1.40 per ride, capped at $65 per month. Cards can be used on all Metro buses, including BRT, are easy to deactivate, and have no minimum usage requirements.

Madison BCycle – Corporate Program & Bulk Passes

E-bikes make commuting easier—especially on hills—and help employees arrive at work without breaking a sweat. Through Madison BCycle’s Corporate Program, employers can subsidize Annual Memberships to support biking for commutes and midday errands. Bulk day pass discounts are also available, making this a great option for hotels, multifamily properties, and businesses that host visitors.

Bikes for Kids Wisconsin – Bike to Work Program

Bikes for Kids Wisconsin provides bicycles to individuals of all ages facing financial barriers to transportation. Through their Bike to Work program, they partner with employers and nonprofits to offer bike fleets or voucher programs for employees.

If you have an employee in need of a bike to get to work, call (608) 405-0385 to learn more.
