Safe Ride Available for Fourth of July

[July 03, 2017]  LINCOLN - The ALMH Community Health Collaborative is encouraging those who celebrate the fourth of July with alcohol to utilize SAFE RIDES, a free ride home to prevent drunk driving accidents.

Safe Rides will be available in Lincoln on July 4 to those who need it. Safe Ride is a free ride home provided by the local taxi service and paid for by the ALMH Community Health Collaborative.

“Safe Ride helps to keep our 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 that the service is available and choose not to drink and drive,” said Angela Stoltzenburg, ALMH Community Health Collaborative director.

To receive a free ride home within the Lincoln city limits, patrons can ask the bartender for a Safe Ride ticket.

The ALMH Community Health Collaborative is comprised of community agencies working to create a healthy community. It is financially supported by the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation. For more information about the ALMH Community Health Collaborative call 217-605-5008.
