Sudbury, ON
Friday & Saturdays in December
We spread awareness and education to prevent impaired driving, and throughout the holiday season, operate the the Holiday Safe Ride Home Service. Each year, approximately 8,000 Sudburians receive a Safe Ride Home in their own vehicle by a team of volunteers.
Safe Ride Home Sudbury was established to continue the long-standing tradition of providing a community service assisting Sudburians in safely securing a ride home and to spread awareness and education to prevent impaired driving.
Who can use Safe Ride Home Sudbury?
Safe Ride Home Sudbury isn’t a taxi service. It’s a unique program that gets both vehicles and drivers home safely. So while anyone can call, you must have a vehicle in order to get a ride. You also need to wear seat belts so if you have more passengers than seat belts, someone will be staying behind.
Is the service confidential?
Absolutely! All volunteers sign a form agreeing not to provide any information that might be used to identify a client, their passengers or their addresses. So don’t let worries about discretion drive you away.
What does it cost to use Safe Ride Home Sudbury?
Safe Ride Home Sudbury is FREE but donations are gratefully accepted. All donations support local youth programs in our community.
