The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office reminded residents on Facebook to avoid driving under the influence during New Year’s celebrations. They encouraged using a designated driver or taking advantage of free bus rides from Molson Coors. Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office's Post stated: "Friendly reminder, folks: If you’re drinking alcohol tonight in Milwaukee County, on impairing prescription drugs (or, God forbid, things you’ve acquired from a sidewalk pharmacist…which we don’t condone, for obvious reasons!) , please use a #designateddriver or when you’re done celebrating, take a free bus ride, courtesy of #MolsonCoors. We promise, you don’t want a ride from us."
The Milwaukee County Transit System extended service on several major routes until 4 a.m. after New Year’s Eve, including Bayshore, Mayfair Mall, and the airport. Riders can find more details and plan their trip on the transit system’s website.
Local authorities are offering extended public transportation on New Year’s Eve to help prevent impaired driving. The collaboration between the sheriff’s office and Molson Coors aims to make safe travel easier and reduce related incidents.
The program highlights proactive safety measures during high-risk events. Authorities will monitor its impact on reducing DUI offenses and consider future collaborations. The initiative reminds residents to choose safe alternatives during New Year’s celebrations.
