Safe Ride available for Halloween

[October 26, 2012]  There's a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink while celebrating Halloween.

Safe Ride will be available in Lincoln on Oct. 26, 27 and 31 to those who need it. Safe Ride is a free ride home, sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership.

"Safe Ride keeps the streets safer on nights when children and families are more likely to be celebrating away from home. Our hope is that the community will remember the service is available, suggest it when necessary," said Angela Stoltzenburg, community partnerships manager.

Safe Ride will also be available the night before Thanksgiving, on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on any of these nights, call American Cab of Lincoln at 735-9696.

Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization comprised of dozens of community agencies. It is supported by the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation. For more information or for updates, like Healthy Communities Partnership on Facebook or call 217-605-5008.
