How to get home safely in Kansas City after partying this New Year's weekend

Here are some ways to get around Kansas City cheaply and safely during New Year’s celebrations this weekend, when police will be on the lookout for impaired drivers.
You might want to toast the New Year with friends, perhaps at a bar. But then you need to get home.

The National Safety Council predicts 408 people will die in car wrecks during the New Year’s weekend. Also, police across the Kansas City metro will be on the lookout for impaired drivers.

“Most of the DUIs that I see, the passengers will be very intoxicated, but the drivers say, ‘Well I only had one or two drinks,’ and then we end up arresting the driver for DUI,” says Kansas City, Missouri, Police Sgt. Corey Carlisle, DUI section supervisor.

Carlisle said people shouldn’t get behind the wheel after consuming any amount of alcohol or drugs, including newly legal marijuana.
