[March 15, 2013]  There's a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink while celebrating the St. Patrick's holiday this weekend. On Saturday and Sunday, Safe Ride will be available in Lincoln to those who need it. Safe Ride is a free ride home sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership.

"St. Patrick's Day celebrations oftentimes include alcohol. The Healthy Communities Partnership offers Safe Rides to help keep the streets safer for everyone in the community. 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 either night, call American Cab of Lincoln at 735-9696.
