"New Years' Eve is one of the most celebrated nights of the year and we want do our part in helping people get home safe," says Patrick O'Driscoll, President and CEO of Corby Spirit and Wine Limited. "For the last 7 years we've provided over 1.2 million rides to Torontonians, keeping our streets safe on one of the biggest party nights on the calendar, and we could not be more proud of this partnership and its results keeping people from driving when they have been drinking."

"Safety is our number one priority and we are proud to help Torontonians get to and from their celebrations safely, especially on such a busy night in the city."

Corby joined forces this year with the organization Arrive Alive to continue to raise awareness on the dangers of drinking and driving. "We are proud to partner with allies like Corby and the TTC to help get our message across," says Anne Leonard, President of Arrive Alive Drive Sober. "Corby Safe Rides is a wonderful initiative. We truly hope Torontonians will benefit from the free TTC on New Year's Eve and enjoy a safe ride home."
