STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., March 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a January 2015 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year drunk driving is responsible for one third of all teenage traffic-related deaths. In an effort to provide parents the peace of mind that their teens' most important night remains a safe one, US Coachways, a premier charter bus and limousine company serving the Northeast and major cities across the country, is providing alcohol-free charter buses to transport students to and from their prom festivities, an effort applauded by Mothers Against Drunk Driving® (MADD).
"Each year, we handle thousands of group travel outings, with high school prom being one of our more rapidly growing sectors," said Edward Telmany, CEO of US Coachways. "Our party limo buses are not only on par with highest safety standards and aesthetically pleasing, but kids have a great time. Students get to celebrate together in style in a clean, vibrant environment, and most importantly, without the influence of alcohol. Parents are comfortable that their children's safety is in the hands of one of our expert, professional drivers."
US Coachways offers a variety of different transportation solutions including bus charters, party buses, and limousines that encourage having fun in a safe, sober and responsible environment. Able to accommodate parties with up to 61 people, US Coachways provides a sensible, alcohol-free party solution that turns prom night into a worry-free night for both parents and teens.
"MADD's top priority is safety, and underage drinking prevention is a critical element to keeping teens, the roads and communities safe," said MADD National President Colleen Sheehey-Church, whose 18-year-old son was killed by an underage drunk and drugged driver. "MADD applauds US Coachways' operating policy, which forbids underage patrons from consuming or bringing alcohol on board, and gives parents the peace of mind that prom events will truly be a night to remember."
