Colorado Transportation Officials Help the Inebriated

Need a cab ride home this holiday season? A break on a hotel room to spend the night? Or just help figuring out if you’re too buzzed to drive home?

The Colorado Department of Transportation is trying to help partygoers get home safe after a night of drinking with a Web site promoting a free iPhone application that helps estimate blood alcohol levels.

The Web site www.PlanAheadColorado.com also lists restaurants and bars offering free $5 to $10 cab vouchers, hotels offering discounts, public transportation information and overnight parking options where people can leave their vehicles without getting ticketed or towed after a night of drinking this holiday season, from northern Colorado to Colorado Springs.
