WHAT: Designated Driver Program—Border Station Parking
and teenage/student volunteers to encourage young people bound for Tijuana to appoint a
designated driver. The designated drivers will be asked to sign a pledge not to drink
alcohol, and to agree to have their hand stamped identifying them as a designated driver.
Eight Tijuana nightclubs will provide FREE non-alcoholic beverages throughout the night to
designated drivers with stamped hands. Upon their return from Tijuana, if designated
drivers have abstained from alcohol and pass a voluntary breathalyzer test, they’ll
receive a FREE water bottle and carrying strap. In addition, the designated drivers
can enter a drawing to win a fine dinner for two. The restaurants donating complimentary
dinners are members of the San Diego County Responsible Hospitality Coalition and
include Pacific Beach Bar & Grill and Rockin Baja Lobster.
Operation Safe Crossing—A binational, multi-agency
law enforcement operation which conducts intervention, enforcement of underage drinking
laws, DUI and ID checks of young people crossing the border between the U.S. and Mexico. |
