Organize a mandatory seminar for ASU students to learn about drinking responsibly

Inform about Tempe DUI laws and statistics at the beginning of every school year

Increase the number of DUI checkpoints year-round

Provide a safe-ride taxi service for students

Several universities currently use similar programs to get their students home safe and ALIVE

A safe-ride taxi program will allow students to pay a discounted rate on a cab by showing their Sun Card

The cost is covered at the time of the ride

When a student is low on cash and in a bind they can still get home without operating a

vehicle

The discounted amount is billed to the students ASU account

Do safe-ride programs promote heavy drinking?

COLLEGE STUDENTS WILL DRINK REGARDLESS

Safe-rides will not promote drinking, it will simply promote the service as a cheap and safe way to

get home.

Many college students drink more than the

legal limit without realizing it

Keep them from getting behind the wheel

With your help ASU can be a large part in

improving the safety of everyone in Tempe

Introducing a safe-ride taxi service will save ASU students lives
