December 28, 2012,  There’s a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink while celebrating 2013. On December 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.

“For many, New Year’s Eve celebrations involve alcohol. The Healthy Communities Partnership offers Safe Rides on this night to help keep the streets safer for everyone who is celebrating. Our hope is that the community will remember the service is available and that bartenders will suggest it when necessary,” said Angela Stoltzenburg, Community Partnerships Manager.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits, call the cab company, American Cab of Lincoln, at 735-9696.

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 Healthcare Foundation. For more information or for updates, “like” Healthy Communities Partnership on Facebook or call 217-605-5008.
