Teaming Up to Get Home Safely

There are just too many alternatives to driving under the influence in our town to excuse not having a safe exit strategy from The San Juan Brewfest or any of our other incredible local events. Here’s a roundup of ideas and services that can get you and your crew home safely.

  • Green pedestrian walking sign

    Walk

    Durango works hard to make it easy for pedestrians to get around safely. Utilize our abundance of wide sidewalks or the Animas River Trail and get your steps in for the day with a good ‘ol fashioned walk home.


  • A red DuraGo Transit vehicle, possibly a trolley or tram, parked on a sidewalk with windows and advertising text.

    Durango Trolley + DuranGO! App

    If you’re not taking advantage of FREE door to door transit, then what are you even doing? Not only is all Durango Transit fixed-route service FREE for everyone from June 1 – August 31, they’ve also made their evening microtransit door to door on demand service FREE from 5 pm to midnight. It’s basically FREE in-town Uber. Get all the details and the link to download the DuranGO! app at durangotransit.com.
