NEW YEAR’S EVE SAFE RIDE HOME PROGRAM
Free Service Provides Partygoers a Safe Ride Home
Joining Orland Park in the Safe Ride Home Program on New Year’s Eve are the communities of Mokena, Orland Hills, Palos Heights
The Safe Ride Home Program cost is approximately $4,436.00. The Michael P. Gordon Memorial Foundation has generously donated $1,500.00 to help subsidize the Safe Ride Home Program. Thanks to the generosity of the Gordon Foundation, each participating community’s share of the cost will be approximately $587.00. The Michael P. Gordon Memorial Foundation was established to carry on the memory of Chicago Police Officer Mike Gordon and continue his service by improving public safety and providing financial assistance to deserving individuals and charitable organizations.
Carey Chicago of Elk Grove Village will provide six vehicles to give residents of the participating towns a ride home. The driver will take riders to their homes, not to another party or public establishment. There is no charge for this service and no names will be taken. Last year, 203 passengers took advantage of the free safe ride home.
The service is provided to help make New Year’s Eve safe for everyone on the road. Residents of any of the participating towns may call Carey Chicago at 1-800-752-5400 to arrange for a free ride home on New Year’s Eve. The Village of Orland Park
