Safe Ride service available for Logan County Fair weekend

[July 31, 2013]  The Healthy Communities Partnership is encouraging those who celebrate at the beer tent to call for a free ride home during the Logan County Fair this weekend.

On Friday and Saturday, Aug. 2 and 3, 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.

"Safe Ride helps to keep our 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 that the service is available and use it when necessary," said Angela Stoltzenburg, Healthy Communities Partnership manager.

Safe Ride will also be available during the Lincoln Art & Balloon Festival, Labor Day weekend, the night before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

To receive a free ride home within the city limits on any of these nights, call the cab company, A Green Cab, at 732-8294.

Healthy Communities Partnership is a collaborative organization comprised of dozens of community agencies. It is supported by the Abraham Lincoln Healthcare Foundation. For more information and updates, individuals should "like" Healthy Communities Partnership on Facebook.
