Woodstock police offer alternative transportation for Streetfest
WOODSTOCK, Ga. -- On Saturday, Mar. 26, the Woodstock Police Department will once again conduct "Operation Safe Ride."
This free service provides rides home to patrons of the Greenprints Alliance Streetfest 2011 who may be impaired or feel it is unsafe for them to drive.
Eligible participants must attend Streetfest, live within a reasonable distance of Woodstock and lack enough money to call a taxi.
Operation Safe Ride has provided over 200 rides home and saved countless lives in its three years of existence.
"The main reason for this operation is to ensure that residents can celebrate the event, but not endanger the lives of others by driving impaired," said Woodstock Officer Kim Thomas. "We have fun interacting with all of the residents and meeting new people.
