Safe Ride available for Thanksgiving eve

[November 27, 2013]  There's a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink Wednesday. Safe Ride will be available in Lincoln on Nov. 27 to those who need it. Safe Ride is a free ride home sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership.

"For many local people, the night before Thanksgiving is a time to reconnect with friends who have returned for the holiday. Healthy Communities Partnership offers 'Safe Rides' to help keep the streets safer for everyone. 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, call A Green Cab of Lincoln at 732-TAXI (732-8294).

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