[July 03, 2012]  There's a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink during Fourth of July celebrations this week.

On July 3 and 4, 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.

"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 the weekend of the Logan County Fair, during the art and balloon fest, Labor Day weekend, the night before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on any of these nights, ask the bartender or call the cab company, American Cab of Lincoln, at 735-9696.
