With goal of keeping drunken drivers off the road this New Year’s Eve, free rides on Regional Transportation Commission buses will be offered from 6 p.m. today until 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Costs of the New Year’s Eve Safe RIDE program are being covered by sponsors. Riding a bus is a better alternative to driving or trying to walk home impaired, according to RTC.
“We encourage everyone to ring in 2020 safely and responsibly and we are proud to provide this service that gives residents and visitors a safe transportation alternative,” Amy Cummings, RTC interim executive director, said in a statement.
Those who live in areas not served by transit are being reminded to plan a safe way to get home, such as designating a driver or calling a taxicab.
