To reduce the use of the private car, other means of transportation should be stimulated. This can be done by, amongst other measures, introducing so-called guaranteed ride home programmes. A guaranteed ride home programme is an arrangement to guarantee employees back-up transportation in case of an emergency. The effects of guaranteed ride home programmes in The Netherlands are not known. For this reason, the Dutch Ministry of Transport and Public Works decided to start guaranteed ride home pilot projects. This report is meant as a basis for these pilot projects. Aspects of guaranteed ride home programmes and aspects concerning research on the effects of the programmes are considered. The appendix contains examples of application forms, surveys, schemes of analysis, etc.
