On Friday and Saturday, Safe Ride will be available in Lincoln to
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 within the
city limits either night, call the cab company, American Cab of
Lincoln, at 735-9696.
"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.
Safe Ride will also be available on Labor Day weekend, the night
before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
