Free Rides for Life - New Year's Eve
Copyright 2007.  MediRide, Inc.  All rights reserved.
(Marquette, MI) -  New Year's Eve is known as an evening
that should be filled with smiles, laughter, and joy as we
celebrate the coming of a brand-new year.  Unfortunately for
many in Michigan, the evening will end in tragedy.  Last year
in Michigan there were over 4,000 drunk-driving related
arrests and accidents, some of them fatal.  

That's why, for the 7th strait year, MediRide EMS of
Marquette is offering the Free Rides For Life program.

Free Rides For Life, an annual service of MediRide EMS is
an opportunity for the general public to take advantage of
free rides to and from their New Year's Eve Celebrations.  
Free rides will be given by MediRide EMS employee
volunteers in the company's Assist
CAR sedans.  The Free
Rides For Life are offered New Year's Eve only from 8:00
pm through 4:00 am and are available on a
first-call-first-serve basis only.  Due to heavy call volumes
advanced reservations will not be accepted.  MediRide EMS
President, David Guizzetti, says that it's an extremely
popular service and hundreds of people call every year.  
"People have always expressed a great appreciation for
this service, and now that we've been doing it for the past
few years, folks have started to count on us."    MediRide
officials suggest that people call for their ride about 15 to
20 minutes before they're ready to leave.  "Because of this,
we encourage all those interested in the free rides to call a little bit ahead of time to make sure they get the ride at
the time they need it," said Guizzetti.

MediRide's Free Rides For Life service is available in the city of Marquette, and both Marquette and Chocolay
Townships.  Those interested in receiving a free ride should call MediRide  at
226-4565.  "All you have to do to get
your ride this New Year's Eve is call our office directly at
226-4565.  Phones will ring right into our dispatch center
and the driver's will be radio dispatched to pick you up," said Guizzetti.

In the past six years that MediRide EMS has provided the Free Rides service, there have been no alcohol related
arrests or accidents in the area served, and that's something MediRide EMS is truly proud of.  For your free ride this
New Year's Eve, be sure to call MediRide EMS at
226-4565.

If call volume is heavy, and wait times are long, people are encouraged to call a cab rather than drive themselves.  
Apple Cab Co. of Marquette is available to provide rides, for usual prices, by calling (906) 226-9999.
