SafetyCab: If You Drink - Don’t Drive!
Thursday, December 04, 2008

 For the 26th  year, St. Francis Hospital will offer SafetyCab during the holiday season in an effort to help reduce the number of DUI-related accidents and fatalities. Drinking drivers in Columbus, Phenix City and Fort Benning will receive a free ride home from parties, restaurants and bars between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. from December 6 through January 1.

 The purpose of the program is to encourage holiday party-goers to designate a driver who will refrain from drinking alcohol. In the event a designated driver is not available, SafetyCab will provide free transportation home for passengers calling SafetyCab at 706-660-6069.

 SafetyCab is coordinated by St. Francis Hospital and is co-sponsored this year by Aflac and B&B Beverage. It is further supported through the efforts of Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, WTVM-TV9, WXTX-TV Fox54 , Q1073,  Kissin 99.3, 95.3 The Ride, AM 1420, 103.7 The Truth, Rooster 106, Rock 103, Sunny 100, 98.3 The Beat, Magic 101.3, News Radio AM 540 WDAK, Viva 1460 and 1270 AM WSHE.

 Columbus Emergency Medical Service, and police and safety departments in Columbus, Phenix City and Ft. Benning support the program by distributing SafetyCab information to bars, liquor stores and restaurants serving alcoholic beverages.
