Wednesday through Saturday, 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. "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 this year the weekend of the
Logan County Fair, the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival, Labor Day
weekend, the night before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's
Eve.
