The Problem

Alocohol related accidents is the number one cause death to teenagers. Over 3,500 teenagers are killed, and over 85,000 injured in alcohol related accidents each year. Some are innocent bystanters and some direct causes. Safe rides is a program that offers teenagers a sober ride home. If a teenager does not feel capable of driving, he/she need only call safe rides and someone will come and pick them up, and drive them home. Safe rides would also be available to teenagers who do not feel safe driving with the person who was supposed to take them home, or friends trying to help friends by calling safe rides for them, and not letting them get in their own car.
