Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Drunk and drugged driving effects everyone. Even if you don't drive or drink alcohol, we all have friends and loved ones that can fall victim to DUI/DWI arrest, crashes, injury and death. SafeRide America proactively prevents all types of impaired driving by offering a professional designated driver service, 7 nights a week, where we drive both impaired person and their car home for them for less than the cost of rideshare or taxi round trip. Our unique self-sustaining social enterprise business model, once it earns income (becomes profitable), will not only reduce drunk driving and save lives, but will also endow an assistance fund for children that have been orphaned or injured by impaired driving crashes.
