What is SAFE RIDE HOME®?

According to the NHTSA, 29 people die each day in alcohol-related crashes - that’s one death every 50 minutes!

We are heavily involved in our community and we care about the well-being of everyone in it. We want our friends and family to be happy, safe, and healthy for a long time.

Hauptman, O’Brien, Wolf, & Lathrop founded SAFE RIDE HOME® in 1990 with a single mission – help Nebraskans avoid drinking and driving by paying for their cab fares, so everyone can safely get home to their friends and loved ones.

Since then, the SAFE RIDE HOME® program has provided more than 75,000 rides, saving countless lives. This success led us to expand the program to other holidays, events and, in partnership with the WCA, for victims of domestic and sexual violence every day of the year.

We are grateful to the thousands of people who have utilized our SAFE RIDE HOME® program and to our community, who has embraced us for more than 35 years. Together, we can continue to make a difference in the fight to end drunk driving.

What People Are Saying

Holiday Greetings Guys, I don’t need a lawyer, & I am lucky enough to have a driver if I need, … but I see your program “SAFE RIDE HOME®,” and just want to say Thank You, For the lives you may save with the Holiday Cheer. Somewhere this act of kindness should be noted!!! The city could put the team up for a “Best of Omaha” on that alone. Well, I just think that this is something I should say, My best in the coming year, Peace to all, family & friends at this joyous time of year. Cheers!!!
Dave

26 years and 44,000 safe rides home. Only God knows how many lives this program has saved from tragedy. Here’s a good community service project for those who don’t live in Omaha. Rally some of the businesses in your city and start a nonprofit to set up a program like this.
Jerry

Congratulations on another SAFE RIDE HOME®. I noticed you saved 3,200 people this year – Wow!!! Unbelievable – but fantastic. I remember where this program began. You are truly helping to make our streets safer!! Thank you.
Sincerely,

Each year, we host a big holiday party in our home, and I always tell our guests about the SAFE RIDE HOME® program. It eases my mind to know this option exists for our friends and family to get home safely. Thank you for providing such a life-saving program!

Thank you Hauptman, O’Brien Wolf & Lathrop! This is such an awesome program! Your kindness saves lives and helps everyone enjoy the holidays with their families without legal recourse. I have enjoyed your program a few times one of which without would have had me walking five miles home in very unfavorable weather conditions while intoxicated. You save lives with every ride given and bless you for that. you all are in my prayers.
Happy holidays to you all and all your families!
Thomas

Thank you for making the holiday season in Omaha a little bit safer. I may not drink and drive, but I still worry about those who do. If the SAFE RIDE HOME® program leads to even one less drunk driver on the road, it’s worth it in my book.

Thanks for offering such a valuable service to the community! As a business owner, it’s good to know that programs like this exist in Omaha. When the holidays approach each year, I make sure all of our employees know about your safe ride program.

Thank you for your financial contribution for the WMS Spring Conference dinners. It is greatly appreciated!

May all the joy the season brings be yours now and in the coming year. Merry Christmas.
JoAnn

My daughter was able to make it home safely a couple of nights ago thanks to the SAFE RIDE HOME® Program. Thank you so much for underwriting such a wonderful, life saving program.

Merry Christmas. Many thanks for handling my case so honestly. Have a blessed Christmas.
Love,
Lucy

With all of the holiday parties my children attend, I know their budgets get tight and they may be tempted to drive when they shouldn’t. Last year, I asked them to program the SAFE RIDE HOME® number into their cell phones to call if they needed to. Thanks for giving this mother some added peace of mind.

It is very beneficial to seek legal counsel when you have been a victim in an accident. A person without legal counsel cannot achieve maximum benefits. It’s just the way it is…. Every day people don’t write the rules, but attorneys can help you live by the rules. Hauptman O’Brien attorneys are thorough, helpful, considerate and patient. I can strongly recommend Kyle McGinn. The process he assisted me with was arduous and lengthy. I am very appreciative of the outcome and the focus on my return to wellness.

I can’t thank Jeremy, Nicole, and Andrea enough for the way they handled my case. After my car accident, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of what to do, but their team stepped in with confidence, compassion, and clear communication every step of the way.
They explained things in a way that actually made sense, fought hard to make sure I was treated fairly, and never made me feel like just another case number.

If you’re looking for attorneys who actually care and know how to get things done — these are your people

Jeremy and his team Nicole and Andrea had no doubt they could help with my sons case. They were kind and very helpful and getting some justice for my little boy. After being attacked by a dog with negligent owners we wanted some kind of justice for our son. After reaching out , Jeremy stayed in touch the whole time and kept us updated every step of the way and my son was set up nicely with an education fund through the money he received . If you want a honest, diligent law firm that gets the job done then Hauptman, O’Brien injury lawyers are the best in Nebraska. These people are good at what they do
