Avoid Christmas in the Clink

Here’s a site worth bookmarking on your iPhone. Planaheadcolorado.com was created by Ideologie (design) and Webb PR (public outreach) as a one-stop-shop for anyone (read: you) planning to celebrate the holidays with a few adult beverages – and wanting to avoid getting a DUI in the process.

The site includes maps of bars and restaurants that are handing out free $5 cab vouchers, places to park your car overnight (without getting a ticket or towed), discounted hotels (if you don’t want to go home at all) and a listing of RTD park and ride locations if public transit is your choice (go, bus riders, go). There’s even a link to find out when and where a sobriety checkpoint might be coming to a neighborhood near you.

The vouchers are good from Friday the 12th through January 5 – just in time for the two holiday increased DUI enforcement periods (December 12-15 and December 31-January 5). Happy wassailing, everyone.
