Safe Ride available for New Year's Eve

[December 29, 2012]  There's a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink during while celebrating 2013. Safe Ride will be available in Lincoln on Monday to those who need it. Safe Ride is a free ride home, sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership.

"For many, New Year's Eve celebrations involve alcohol. The Healthy Communities Partnership offers Safe Rides on this night to help keep the streets safer for everyone who is celebrating. Our hope is that the community will remember the service is available and that bartenders will suggest it when necessary," said Angela Stoltzenburg, community partnerships manager.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on New Year's Eve, call the cab company, American Cab of Lincoln, at 735-9696.

Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization comprised of community agencies and private individuals striving to create the healthiest community in America.
