PUBLIC SAFETY

Catch a sober ride— on us

Be a neighbor Help keep your block’s hydrant clear If there’s a fire hydrant near your house, be a good neighbor and help keep it clear this winter. It is the resident’s responsibility to maintain nearby hydrants so they are accessible to the Fire Department at all times. Vegetation, snow, and debris should be removed in the three-foot area surrounding the hydrant. For those who are unable to clear a hydrant on their property, call Shakopee Public Utilities for assistance at 952-233-1503. Thank you for helping keep your neighborhood safe during the win ter months! FIRE HYDRANTS: Keep them clear this winter

(It won’t be in a squad car)! Take advantage of the City’s grant-funded Sober Ride Home program through next summer!

SOBER RIDE HOME PROGRAM S H A K O P E E

If you have been consuming alcohol or cannabis on an eligible holiday or event date, catch a free ride from TNT Taxi or get reimbursed up to $15 for your rideshare cost with Uber or Lyft.

Who doesn’t want to save a quick $15? And it’s so easy, too! If you take a Lyft or Uber, submit your receipt to the City within 10 days of your ride, and the City of Shakopee will reimburse you for it. If you take a TNT Taxi, you don’t even need to submit a reimbursement request. Just take your free ride and be on your way! If more grant funding than expected becomes available, program guide lines may change. To submit a reimbursement request or view all pro gram guidelines, including the eligible event dates, eligible holidays, and eligible pick-up and drop-off locations, visit www.ShakopeeMN.gov/ soberridehome .
