The City of Moose Jaw and Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) are once again partnering to provide safe transportation on New Year's Eve, including additional bus stops at popular downtown locations.
This will be the 33rd year for the "Find a Safe Ride" program, which offers free Moose Jaw Transit service from 7:55 p.m. on Dec. 31 through 3:15 a.m. on Jan. 1.
"The New Year is a time to celebrate with friends and family, and getting home safe from those celebrations is paramount," City of Moose Jaw Mayor Clive Tolley said in a press release. "We thank SGI and all of our partners for helping Moose Javians 'Find a Safe Ride' to and from your New Year's celebration destination."
Moose Jaw Transit regular fixed-route service will run between the designated hours from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day. The entire schedule is available online at moosejaw.ca/streets-roads/transit/fixed-route-service/.
Paratransit transportation is included in the "Find a Safe Ride" campaign, but must be booked by calling Moose Jaw Transit at 306-694-4488 or by email at [email protected].
Most restaurants and lounges are within easy walking distance of a bus stop. However, additional bus stops have been added at popular destinations such as Brown's Social House, The Crushed Can Rec Room & Bar/Cask 82, Chillers Brew Pub, and Dooly's Billiards & Lounge.
The program is also sponsored by the Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com.
