Safe Ride Available for Memorial Day Weekend

[May 26, 2017]  LINCOLN -  There’s a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink during the Memorial Day weekend. Safe Rides will be available May 26-29 to those at any bar in Lincoln. Safe Ride is a free ride home within the city of Lincoln sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership.

“Memorial Day weekend is often a time of celebration and often spent with friends and family. For some, the celebration includes alcohol. 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 Communities Partnerships Manager.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on these nights, ask the bartender for a SAFE RIDE ticket. The free taxi rides are paid for by HCP.

Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization comprised of community agencies and private individuals striving to create the healthiest community in America. It is funded by the Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital Foundation. For more information or for updates, visit www.healthycommunities partnership.com  or call 217-605-5008.
