What is SAFE RIDE HOME®?

According to the NHTSA, 29 people die each day in alcohol-related crashes - that’s one death every 50 minutes!

We are heavily involved in our community and we care about the well-being of everyone in it. We want our friends and family to be happy, safe, and healthy for a long time.

Hauptman, O’Brien, Wolf, & Lathrop founded SAFE RIDE HOME® in 1990 with a single mission – help Nebraskans avoid drinking and driving by paying for their cab fares, so everyone can safely get home to their friends and loved ones.

Since then, the SAFE RIDE HOME® program has provided more than 65,000 rides, saving countless lives. This success led us to expand the program to other holidays, events and, in partnership with the WCA, for victims of domestic and sexual violence every day of the year.

We are grateful to the thousands of people who have utilized our SAFE RIDE HOME® program and to our community, who has embraced us for more than 28 years. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the fight to end drunk driving.
