Rides home offered New Year's Eve

ROCKFORD - The Winnebago County Sheriff's Department in conjunction with Rockford Health Systems and Maverick Media, will conduct the annual Sheriff's New Year's Eve Ride Home program.

The program runs from 11 p.m. Sunday to 4 a.m. Monday when county residents who have had too much to drink can call for a free ride home. To call for a ride, call (815)639-4674.

Because New Year's Eve is a busy time for the sheriff's department, people are asked to try to make alternate arrangements for a ride home.


The purpose of the program is to help make area roads safe for travelers.
