Safe Rides available for New Year's Eve

[December 28, 2013]  There's a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink during while celebrating the New Year's holiday. On Dec. 31, 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.

"New Year's is oftentimes celebrating with alcohol. The Healthy Communities Partnership offers Safe Rides to help keep the streets safer for everyone," said Angela Stoltzenburg, community partnerships manager. "Our hope is that the community will remember the service is available and that bartenders will suggest it when necessary."

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on New Year's Eve, call the cab company, A Green Cab of Lincoln, at 732-TAXI (8294).
