Council is running a Plan B – Taxi Home campaign to encourage Dubbo businesses to leave their cars at home and take a taxi from their work parties.
Council’s road safety officer Jayne Bleechmore said those who submitted their anti drink-driving message through council’s website would be entered into four weekly draws of taxi vouchers and a one-off draw for a $500 rebate on their party costs.

Forms can also be submitted at council’s customer service centre.
“The festive season can often promote risk-taking with party goers failing to make their arrangements of a ‘Plan B’ for alternative safe travel home and with over 3000 random breath tests conducted in Dubbo last Christmas and New Year its highly likely drink-drivers will be caught or worse still involved in drink-driving crashes,” Ms Bleechmore said.
Dubbo Radio Cabs office manager Marg Hull said revellers should consider catching taxis after their work parties.
“Don’t put temptation to the test, leave your car keys at home and book yourself a safe taxi ride home,” she said.
“Our drivers are ready to accept the Plan B Taxi Home vouchers right up until midnight on New Year’s Day.”
Taxi vouchers are limited and the number of vouchers drawn will be capped each week to ensure a fair distribution over the four week period.
