Aspen's Tipsy Taxi keeps all of us - locals and visitors - safer from the devastation caused by drunk drivers by offering a free ride home to anyone with no other way to avoid driving drunk. The program operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in its 40 years of continual operation, it has given more than 20,000 safe rides home. Since the inception of Tipsy Taxi in 1983, deaths caused by drunk drivers have gone down and stayed down!

The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office administers Tipsy Taxi and provides services to our community through a cooperative working relationship with the Aspen Police Department and the hospitality industry. The program enjoys enormous support, as shown by all the donations from every segment of the community. Anyone needing a Tipsy Taxi can get a voucher for a free safe ride home from any bartender or peace officer.

Aspen's Tipsy Taxi has served as a model for similar programs throughout the United States and Europe. For more information, contact Ellen Anderson at 970-618-1515
