For the 27th year, St. Francis Hospital will offer SafetyCab during the holiday season in an effort to help reduce the number of DUI-related accidents and fatalities. Drinking drivers in Columbus, Phenix City and Fort Benning will receive a free ride home from parties, restaurants and bars between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. from December 5 through January 2.           

The purpose of the program is to encourage holiday party-goers to designate a driver who will refrain from drinking alcohol. In the event a designated driver is not available, SafetyCab will provide free transportation home for passengers calling SafetyCab at 706-660-6069.
