2012 Art and Balloon Festival
Safe Ride program available for balloon festival
weekend
There’s a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink
during the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival this weekend.
On Friday and Saturday, Safe
Ride will be available in Lincoln
to those who need it. Safe Ride
is a free ride home, sponsored
by the Healthy Behaviors Task
Force, an initiative of the Healthy
Communities Partnership.
To receive a free ride home
within the city limits either night,
call the cab company, American
Cab of Lincoln, at 735-9696.
“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
on Labor Day weekend, the night
before Thanksgiving, Christmas
Eve and New Year’s Eve.
Healthy Communities
Partnership is a collaborative
organization comprised of dozens
of community agencies. It is
supported by the Abraham Lincoln
Healthcare Foundation.
