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.

  • 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.


  • 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.

  • Designated Driver

    Call your friend, your mom, your hair stylist, anyone who hasn’t been drinking today, and get a ride home! The San Juan Brewfest even offers discounted tickets for designated drivers. Because Brewfest can still be fun without the brews!

  • Sunshine Rides

    Sunshine Rides is here for you 24 hours a day with modern vehicles and professional drivers. Call or text 970.777.7777 or find them on the app store. Get the link at sunshinerides.com.

  • Lyft

  • Uber

Collaboration is Crucial

When an issue is too big to tackle for one organization alone, Team Up creates action teams comprised of the people who make things happen.

Opt in to the power of team work.

We learned to listen first.
