Game day campaign urges big plays on screen, safe rides home
A recent Facebook post urged fans to keep celebrations safe, saying, “Game day goals: big plays on the screen, safe rides home. Fans don’t let fans drive drunk.” The post used the Super Bowl hashtag to encourage fans to plan alternatives to driving after game-day celebrations.
The message reflects a common public-safety focus surrounding major sporting events, when large gatherings and alcohol consumption can lead to increased risk on roadways. Community groups, public-safety advocates and transportation providers frequently promote similar reminders ahead of high-profile games.
Officials and safety organizations often advise that fans designate a sober driver, use ride-hailing or taxi services, take public transit when available or arrange to stay overnight rather than driving impaired. Many jurisdictions also increase outreach and enforcement around big events to reduce impaired-driving crashes.
The post serves as a reminder that peer intervention — encouraging friends and family not to drive drunk — can be an important part of preventing harm. Fans are urged to plan ahead and use available transportation options to get home safely.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.
