The State Employees Commuter Assistance Program (SECAP), the benefit program for state workers seeking transportation alternatives, has moved to the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority (GRTA), as of October 1, 2003.

At GRTA, we want to be sure SECAP continues to be an important service for our co-workers who want to escape Atlanta’s traffic gridlock.  One of the key elements of both the transit passes and vanpool programs is the Guaranteed Ride Home (GRH) Program.  This program provides free taxi rides (up to five times per year) for participants who need to leave work early, in the event of an emergency or unscheduled overtime.  The program is administered by the Atlanta Regional Commission under a federal grant.

So, how do you sign up?  Simple.  First, check to be sure your agency is registered as a GRH-participating agency.  The agency must register as a GRH program participant before employees can take advantage of this service.  If it isn’t registered, The Clean Air Campaign is available to assist your agency with setting up this service.  It’s a breeze to set up and administer.

To find out whether or not your agency has established an internal GRH program, please contact your human resource director or your Clean Air Campaign Coordinator on site.  You can contact The Clean Air Campaign directly at 1-877-CLEANAIR.

Commute alternatives are important in our efforts to relieve gridlock and clean the air.  Taking transit or participating in a vanpool is a great help.  We want you to have a ride home guaranteed if you need it for an emergency or unscheduled overtime. Thank you for your interest and support as we provide greater mobility, improve air quality and enhance the quality of life in all areas of metropolitan Atlanta.
