FREE CAB RIDES on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day

December 31st 2007

Monday, 6:00 PM

Free cab rides will be available to impaired party-goers on New Year’s Eve to prevent drunk driving and help people get home safely.  MADD estimates that three out of 10 people will be involved in an alcohol-related crash in their lifetime.  The majority of offenders involved in fatal drunk driving crashes are men between the ages of 21 and 34.

 Care Cab, a joint effort between MADD and AAA, will be available beginning at 6 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 31 until midnight on Tuesday, Jan. 1, providing 30 hours of free service.  The cab ride by Towne Taxi or Community Yellow Cab is free to the caller as long as they are calling from a public establishment and transported to a private residence within the I-275 loop.  Call 513-768-FREE (513-768-3733) to request service.

 For the past 11 years, Care Cab, MADD and AAA have provided 1,500 safe rides home to over 3,600 passengers.
