[November 24, 2015]  LINCOLN - There’s a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink during the Thanksgiving holiday.

On Wednesday, November 26, 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.

“For many people, the night before Thanksgiving is a time to celebrate and get together with friends who have returned home for the holiday. 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, Healthy Community Partnerships Manager.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on any of these nights, individuals can ask their bartender for a Safe Ride ticket and they will receive a free taxi ride home.

Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization comprised of community agencies and private individuals striving to create the healthiest community in America. It is supported by the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation. For more information or for updates, “like” Healthy Communities Partnership on Facebook or call 217-605-5008.
