Participants will also receive educational materials and a discussion of the consequences of impaired driving, according to the release.

No free rides are guaranteed, according to the release, and will only be provided to the limits of available manpower. If riders exceed capacity, officers will give suggestions for alternate transportation or place people on a waitlist.

Officers will have activated body cameras and have full discretion to refuse ride services to anyone if they feel it would be unsafe due to extreme intoxication, uncooperative behavior or other factors, according to the release.
