For St. Patrick's Day 2016, a Lincoln group is providing those who will be out on the town an opportunity to get home safely.

For St. Patrick's  March 17, free rides home will be available to those who need it through Healthy Communities Partnership’s Safe Ride program. Safe Ride is a free ride home from Lincoln drinking establishments and is sponsored by the Healthy Communities Partnership.

Director Angela Stoltzenburg says their hope is that the community will remember the service is available and that bartenders will suggest it when necessary.

To get a safe ride home, participants just request a Safe Ride ticket from the bartender and receive a free ride home and the bartenders will call the cab company.
