Safe Ride1-877-753-RIDE (7433)

Friday and Saturday nights during the school year
10:00pm - 1:30am

Run both for and by high school students, Safe Ride provides free and confidential rides home for teens as an alternative to driving or riding in a dangerous situation. The program runs out of the Palo Alto Office every Friday and Saturday night during the school year, from 10 pm to 1:30 am. Student volunteers answer the toll-free telephone line (1-877-753-RIDE), and a two-person driving team picks up passengers in a Red Cross vehicle.

Volunteers also provide peer education at their schools about the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol. A student volunteer typically works a minimum of four or five times per semester for four hours each shift. The free, safe and confidential program is now in its 25th year.
