While it's important to be able to celebrate the coming New Year with friends and family, it's even more important to plan a safe ride home. That's why the City of Moose Jaw is once again running the Ride's On Us program, sponsored in part by SGI.

The program provides free bus rides on New Years Eve starting at 8:15PM until around 3AM, running on a Saturday schedule.

"Over the last 28 years more than a quarter of a million people have taken advantage of Ding In the New Year across the Provence" said MLA Greg Lawrence at a recent press conference about the Ride's On Us program.

"27 years (the program) has been operating in Moose Jaw, and more than 14,000 people have returned home safely in the city of Moose Jaw" Lawrence said.

Nearly 300 people take advantage of the Ride's On Us program each year in Moose Jaw. Moose Jaw Transit Manager Mark Sture, Mayor Deb Higgins, and MLA Warren Michelson were also in attendance at the press conference.
