Only in the UP can you plan a New Year's Eve night out and no one has to be the DD. Ah, the sweet UP!
OSF St. Francis Hospital and Rampart EMS are stepping up to the plate in Delta County again this New Year's Eve. In conjunction with JN Taxi and Escanaba Taxi, they're offering free rides for New Year's Eve from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m.
They've offered "Liferides" for 20 years now, and there has not been a single alcohol-related traffic injury, they say, since the program started. Last year, the two taxi companies served almost 1200 people on New Year's Eve.
To alleviate the anticipated long waiting times this year, Liferides is also running a charter bus with routes through Escanaba and Gladstone. The bus will run from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m.
The message, of course, is "If you're going to drink on New Year's, you don't have to drive. A free taxi and bus service will take care of you."
