2. An Idea, An Innovation, A Revolution!
Idea: Provide an effective solution that would eliminate the need for people to drink and
drive. Also at the same time be economically viable for venue owners and the public.
Innovation: A service that physically delivers responsible patrons to nightlife
establishments and guarantees their safe return home at the conclusion of their night-out,

appeasing the community boards and also helping to reduce drunk-driving statistics in the
surrounding towns.
Revolution: A service changing the way people go out and choose which venues to visit.
A service that has made it more profitable for venue owners to offer safe rides to their
customers.
Reality: Safe Rides Unlimited is an organization that pioneered the revolutionary roundtrip
Safe Rides being used by over 800 people every week and the numbers are growing. SRU
is able to deliver up to date info regarding its member venues and an effective solution to
drunk driving in the hands of its growing customer base of over 15000 people. SRU has
