Guaranteed Last Mile Reimbursement

The Guaranteed Last Mile (GLM) Program will reimburse commuters up to $15 for the cost of alternative transportation when an MVgo shuttle is 15+ minutes late. Commuters may use any form of transportation as their “last- or first-mile” connection to and/or from the Mountain View Transit Center or the San Antonio Caltrain station and another MVgo shuttle stop location.

To qualify for GLM reimbursement, complete the Reimbursement Form within 30 days from the date of the trip.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Trips must start or end at Mountain View Transit Center or San Antonio Caltrain Station and another MVgo shuttle stop location.
  • Trips must be during the MVgo shuttle service period from 6:30AM-10:30AM and 3:00PM and 7:30PM on weekdays.
  • Trips are only eligible for reimbursement when an MVgo shuttle departs more than 2 minutes early or is more than 15 minutes late from its scheduled departure time.
  • Proof of date and time of trip and trip cost must be provided.

Reimbursements will be issued to commuters via Venmo. Commuters must have an existing Venmo account or create a new Venmo account in order to receive the reimbursement.
