[December 23, 2011]
On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve,
Safe Ride will be available in Lincoln for those who need it. Safe
Ride is a FREE ride home, sponsored by the Healthy Behaviors Task
Force, an initiative of the Healthy Communities Partnership.

To receive a free ride home on these nights, ask a bartender or
call the cab company, American Cab of Lincoln, at 735-9696. "Safe Ride has become an established service that helps keep our
streets safer on nights when children and families are more apt to
be enjoying activities away from home," says Kristi Lessen, director
of the Healthy Communities Partnership. "We encourage not only the
community to remember Safe Ride when celebrating, but also
bartenders to suggest it when necessary."
It will not transport riders to another bar, and the service is
available within Lincoln city limits only.
In 2012, Safe Ride will
be available on Super Bowl Sunday, St. Patrick's Day, Memorial Day
weekend, Fourth of July, the weekend of the Logan County Fair,
during the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival, Labor Day weekend,
Halloween, the night before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New
Year's Eve.
Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization
comprised of dozens of community agencies. It is supported in part
by the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation
