Get Home Safe

Overview

Beverage alcohol and food festivals are popular events and great fundraising opportunities. To assist your guests in returning home smoothly, the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) offers event organizers a Get Home Safe transit ticket sponsorship program for festival patrons. Get Home Safe was successfully launched at the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival in 1997.

 

How does the program work?

If your event meets the Get Home Safe program criteria, you may submit an application form. If your application is approved, you will receive a number of transit ticket booklets based on a portion of your estimated total event attendance.

All empty ticket booklets and spare transit tickets must be returned within thirty (30) business days to the LDB. (If not returning materials via standard courier, packages sent via Canada Post should be date-marked.)
 

Get Home Safe will also supplement the transit tickets with a kit that will help you promote taking public transit to / from the festival including:

  • Get Home Safe digital logo for use in promotional materials
  • Get Home Safe posters for display at the event venue
  • Get Home Safe take-home flyers 
Note: Get Home Safe is not a designated driver’s service provider. Please check your local telephone listings for companies that provide driving or taxi services.
