Commuting and Storm Preparedness

One of the issues with a long commute is what to do if stormy weather prevents you from getting home. (I assume if you can't get in, you sit home and watch the telly.) Make sure you have contact information for other commuters who take your route in as well as your route home. Many times a spouse will take a group to our cars. Sometimes we cab it to our cars and it's a good idea to keep a couple cab company phone numbers in your cell as well.
 
Also be sure to sign up for the Guaranteed Ride Home program. While it may not be available during a true storm emergency, it's great to have it as a backup. Sign-up is easy at www.commuterconnections.org or call 800-745-RIDE (7433).
