Our Safe Rides Unlimited Founder, Moe Sattar, was interviewed by Kenneth Anderson on Blog Talk Radio.

Mr. Sattar talked about the history of Safe Rides Unlimited where it started as personal project for students in colleges. This was conceptualized after his friend died due to drunk driving. After the incident, he started offering rides for the students and partnered up with bars for sponsoring cover charges and spark up a revolution of a fun alternative to driving home drunk.

Later, the project grew into Safe Rides Unlimited, 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, where we currently serve very loyal customers who look toward using our service to plan their evenings ahead and prevent drunk driving
