Safe Ride Process:

Any local chapter who wishes to participate needs to send a letter of request for funds to the Tavern League of Wisconsin. The normal amount requested may not exceed $10,000. On approval, the local chapters make all decisions on the program including days and hours of operation, area of coverage, costs of rides, etc.

If an area is not serviced by a cab company, you may be able to set up a "good samaritan" program. In addition, the local chapter is responsible for "raising" an equal amount of money as the initial grant. This may be done in a variety of ways.

 

Safe Ride History: 1999 Wisconsin Act 109 established a surcharge on every DWI conviction. This money may only be used for alternative transportation from Class B licensees to a customer's home. The Tavern League of Wisconsin office administers this program with the Department of Transportation oversight.
