Safe ride for St. Patrick's Day offered

[March 17, 2009]  The Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Task Force, supported through the Healthy Communities Partnership, will provide its Safe Ride program once again for Lincoln on the evening of March 17, St. Patrick's Day.

"The Safe Ride program has been successful, and we will continue to provide them as long as they are being utilized by even one Lincoln resident," said Michelle Bauer. "As the DUI laws continue to become stricter for the purpose of saving lives, we can also do our part to help."

All residents within the Lincoln city limits may use the local taxi service to catch a ride home from either a bar, tavern or restaurant at no cost. The patron must be heading home. The program will not cover bar-to-bar transfers.
