SafeRide America is a small nonprofit organization in the public safety sector that offers driver-for-hire services aimed at preventing impaired driving. Its work focuses on providing low-cost or free rides home in a driver’s own vehicle, along with initiatives to raise awareness about the dangers of impaired driving and to support individuals affected by crashes, including orphans or those injured due to impaired driving. The organization seeks to address common justifications for driving while impaired, such as a lack of affordable transportation options and the need to have a personal vehicle available, through social enterprise and traditional fundraising methods. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, SafeRide America also pursues activities that help bar and restaurant owners, staff, and event organizers manage liability related to alcohol service, while distributing literature and placing signage near drinking establishments. The group operates as a small entity within the public safety field, concentrating on prevention, support for affected families, and community education.
