Safe Ride Available for 4th of July Holiday

[July 02, 2014]  LINCOLN – There’s a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink during Fourth of July celebrations this week.

July 3rd-July 5th, 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.

“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 and that bartenders will suggest it when necessary,” said Angela Stoltzenburg, Marketing and Community Partnerships Manager.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on any of these nights, ask the bartender for a free ticket and they will call the cab.

Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization comprised of dozens of community agencies with a vision to create the healthiest community in America.
