Waco Transit System offering free rides on New Year's Eve

Free rides to New Year's Eve events will be provided as part of the "Safe Ride Home" initiative.

WACO, Texas — The Waco Transit System (WTS) and Tow King are joining up for the "Safe Ride Home" program that will offer free rides on New Year's Eve.

The holiday season brings a lot of intoxicated driving cases with it, so if you and your friends need a safe ride home, take advantage of this service. 

Rides to and from destinations will be provided from 6 p.m. to 3 a.m. on New Year's Eve. WTS prefers you make a reservation prior to New Year's Eve, but same-day requests will also be available.  

To schedule your trip, call (254)-750-1620.

In addition to these free rides, Tow King is offering to tow cars home for free for those who are unable to drive.

To arrange a free tow home, call (254)-666-5484.

These free services are all made possible through generous donations from Ben E. Keith Company, Subway and Chuy's. 

This is the 17th year that WTS has participated in the "Safe Ride Home" program. 

A spokesperson for WTS states " Our goal is simple... to keep the streets of Waco safe on New Year's Eve. If even one life is spared because someone chose to secure a safe ride home, then our purpose was accomplished." 

For more information on the "Safe Ride Home" program, call (254)-750-1620.
