Safe Ride available for Super Bowl

[January 31, 2014]  There's a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink during the Super Bowl. On Sunday, rides home will be available to those at the bars in Lincoln to those who need it. Safe Ride, sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership, is a free ride home within the city of Lincoln.

"Super Bowl is often spent with friends and families. Often alcohol is part of the event. The Healthy Communities Partnership offers Safe Rides to help keep the streets safer for everyone. Our hope is that the community will remember the service is available and that bartenders will suggest it when necessary," said Angela Stoltzenburg, manager of the Healthy Communities Partnership.

The next Safe Ride will be available for the St. Patrick's Day holiday.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on these nights, ask the bartender to call the cab company, A Green Cab of Lincoln, at 732-TAXI.

Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization comprised of community agencies and private individuals striving to create the healthiest community in America. The partnership is supported by the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation.
