AMR to Offer Free New Year's Eve Rides

American Medical Response and the Safe Kids Mississippi Campaign are teaming up on New Year's Eve to offer free rides to people in need of a designated driver.

If you've done a little too much partying and need a ride home, call 601-360-0531 from 11 p.m. Dec. 31 to 3 a.m. Jan. 1. The dispatcher will need your name, location, the number of passengers and their destinations. The organizations will give rides in the metro area including Jackson, Clinton, Brandon, Madison and Ridgeland.

AMR spokesman Jim Pollard said the organizations will be operating six vans for the metro area and asked that individuals be patient for rides.

"When you call, don't expect a van to appear as a quickly as an ambulance would," he said.
