Getting home safely should always be part of the plan.
Whether you’re meeting friends for dinner, heading to a concert, celebrating a milestone or enjoying a night out in Edmonton, deciding how you’ll get home before the evening begins is one simple choice that can make our roads safer.
That’s why Yellow Cab Edmonton is proud to support MADD Canada and its work to prevent impaired driving, support victims and survivors, and encourage Canadians to make responsible choices.
Why Yellow Cab Supports MADD Canada
For decades, MADD Canada has worked to reduce deaths and injuries caused by impaired driving through education, advocacy, awareness and support for victims and their families.
It’s a mission that closely connects with what we do every day.
Yellow Cab has been helping people move throughout Edmonton since 1945. Being part of the community means more than getting passengers from one destination to another. It also means doing our part to encourage safer choices on Edmonton roads.
Every time someone chooses a sober ride instead of driving impaired, that decision helps protect passengers, pedestrians, other drivers, families and our entire community.
Plan Your Ride Home Before You Go
The best time to decide how you’re getting home is before the night begins.
If alcohol or cannabis will be part of your plans, consider your transportation options while you’re deciding where you’re going and who you’re meeting.
Your plan might include:
- Choosing a designated driver
- Taking public transit
- Staying overnight
- Arranging for someone to pick you up
- Booking a taxi home
Having a plan means you don’t have to make that decision later in the evening.

Safe Rides for Edmonton Nights Out
Edmonton has no shortage of reasons to go out.
Concerts, hockey games, festivals, restaurants, celebrations and nights on Whyte Avenue or downtown can all be part of enjoying the city. Transportation should be part of those plans too.
Yellow Cab gives Edmonton passengers several ways to arrange a ride, including the Greater Edmonton Yellow Cab app, online booking and telephone dispatch.
If you’re heading to a concert, festival or sporting event, our Edmonton Monthly Event Guide can also help you find upcoming events and plan transportation before you leave.
Supporting Safer Edmonton Roads
Preventing impaired driving takes all of us.
Choosing not to drive impaired is the most important step, but we can also help by talking about safe transportation with friends and family, planning rides before celebrations and making sure the people we’re with have a safe way home.
Yellow Cab’s support of MADD Canada is part of our broader commitment to safety and the Edmonton community.
Our drivers travel Edmonton’s roads every day and night. We want those roads to be safe for everyone who uses them.
