How Riversiders Get Home Safe
Riverside is home to some of the best restaurants and vibrant nightlife. Try one of these alternatives to make sure you and your loved ones get home safe.
Assign a Designated Driver
Drunk driving is a 100% preventable choice. 2 out of 3 people will be impacted by drunk driving in their lifetime. Lessen the impact. Choose a designated driver.

Choose Public Transportation
Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. Take public transit together and plan how you will get home before the first drink.
Walk Home
It takes one hour to process one standard drink – 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor. Time is the only thing that can sober you up. Consider walking home or to the nearest public transportation stop.

Use a Rideshare App
Almost a third of all traffic deaths include an impaired driver. After a night out, stay in the passenger seat and call a rideshare for a safe ride home. The best time to plan your ride is before the first drink.
