Creating a Safe Ride Program Safe ride programs are becoming common among college communities nationwide to help combat the tragedies associated with drunken driving. These programs encourage college students to make educated and responsible decisions regarding their actions before and after drinking alcoholic beverages. In addition to preventing students from driving under the influence, programs increase safety by offering an alternative to sober students who would otherwise be faced with the decision to walk alone at night, ride with an intoxicated friend who refuses to hand over the keys, r ride with a stranger. Ride services provide many benefits to the communities where they are located. They help avoid injuries and property damage (reducing the cost of private insurance and health care to the community, free law enforcement to address other threats to the community's well being, and relieve over burdened court and prison systems. Take a look at this section to find out the different types of safe rides available, how to get started, a budget planning worksheet and more.
