There’s a safer alternative to driving for anyone who has too much to drink at Lincoln bars during the holiday season. Safe Ride is a free ride home from bars within the city of Lincoln sponsored by the ALMH Community Health Collaborative.

The ALMH Community Health Collaborative 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, ALMH Community Health Collaborative Director.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits individuals should ask the bartender for a SAFE RIDE ticket and call 732-TAXI (8294). The rides are provided by the local cab company and paid for by ALMH Community Health Collaborative.

ALMH Community Health Collaborative is an 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, “like” ALMH Community Health Collaborative on Facebook or call 217-605-5008.
