YARMOUTH – Operation Safe Ride Home starts at 6:00 PM Monday, December 31st and ends at 3:00 AM on Tuesday, January 1, 2019.
Anyone who needs a free and safe ride home from a Yarmouth licensed liquor establishment should call Town Taxi directly at 508.775.5555.
We encourage all Yarmouth and other Cape Cod drivers to look out for each other. Don’t let others drive drunk, and don’t tolerate those who do, or ride with them. Drinking and driving injures or kills a driver every day. This is why no one should drive impaired or ride with anyone who is.
If you see an impaired driver call 911 and help us keep our citizens safe.
We consider impaired driving a very serious crime and are extremely proactive in OUI Enforcement. Additional Police Officers will be on patrol all night.
Do not drink and drive and if you need a ride home take advantage of this highly successful program which will provide people with a free ride home during this New Year’s Eve.
The men and women of the Yarmouth Police Department, our Yarmouth Business Community, and the Citizens of Yarmouth are dedicated to making Yarmouth one of the Safest Communities in the Region.
Be smart and be safe and best wishes to all in 2019!
