Carpool

KMM’s carpool/vanpool matching program is powered by njrideshare.com, New Jersey’s largest free commuter network.
Looking for a carpool partner? When you register on NJRideshare.com you will be connected to individuals interested in sharing a ride to work.
Do you already have a carpool partner? When you register your carpool your group may qualify for KMM’s Emergency Ride Home program. Get started on a better commute.
Ride. Better. Together.

Vanpool

KMM offers a vanpool incentive program that supports commuters. Benefits include:
  • Less stress commuting to and from work
  • Financial savings due to shared commuting costs
  • $125 empty seat subsidy is available to qualified vanpoools
  • Reduces need for parking
  • Increases free time for riders
  • If an HOV lane is available, trips may take less time
  • Reduces pollution due to auto emissions
To qualify for the program, your vehicle must be leased by Enterprise. Still not convinced, vanpooling is the way to go? Vanpools leased through Enterprise may be able to apply for $175 monthly sponsorship from NJTRANSIT!

Emergency Ride Home program

The Emergency Ride Home program is a benefit offered to carpoolers, vanpoolers, and mass transit users registered in KMM’s Ridesharing program. Commuters must participate in an alternative commute method at least once a week to be eligible.

Criteria for use of ERH are as follows:

  • A family or medical emergency that interrupts the workday.
  • Unexpected overtime at your supervisor’s request.
  • Breakdown of carpool vehicle or interruption of transit service that prevents a commuter from getting home.

ERH Program Rules

Commuters MUST enroll in KMM’s Emergency Ride Program (see below) prior to arranging a ride.
Registered ERH participants are eligible for trip reimbursement up to $50 per ride for a maximum of 3 rides per year.
Commuters may schedule ERH trips using their preferred transportation providers such as ride-hauling (Uber), public transit, private taxi or car service or car rental agency.
Commuters must email/fax a copy of proof of ride to KMM in order to receive trip reimbursement.
The receipt or invoice must include name, address, and phone number of transportation provider, date of trip, origin, and destination, and total cost of the trip. KMM does not reimburse for tips.
How to Use the ERH Service
Contact your preferred transportation provider and schedule a ride to your home or vehicle location.

You are responsible for FULL payment to the transportation provider at the time of service.

Once the ride has been taken, fax a copy to KMM at (732) 745-7482 or email it to [email protected] for payment.
