US Enhances St. Patrick's Day Safety Measures

To ensure safety during St. Patrick's Day celebrations, various programs and increased patrols are being implemented across the U.S. Metro Transit in the Twin Cities, supported by Molson Coors, offers free rides from 6 p.m. on March 17 until the end of service, and AAA's Tow To Go provides a confidential towing service in multiple states. In Colorado, state patrols are heightened due to past crash rates, focusing on impaired driving. Boston and Riverside County are also increasing police presence to prevent public disturbances and DUI incidents, respectively. Additionally, in Hampton Roads, a partnership with Lyft offers discounted rides to curb drunk driving. These efforts aim to enhance public safety and promote responsible celebrations.
