Alcohol Awareness

Homecoming is a time of celebration. Indiana State University promotes responsible drinking, through its Designated Walker and Sober Ride programs.

Designated Walker Program

The Designated Walker program is an example of students taking care of each other. Though The Walk is not sponsored or endorsed by Indiana State University, we want to ensure that our community is able to safely make it to Memorial Stadium for the Homecoming game. Designated Walkers can still accompany their friends and have fun on The Walk and at Homecoming. Designated Walkers just don’t drink.

SoberRide Bus 2021

This is the 10th year for the Sober Ride and Designated Walker programs. We want to offer a safe homecoming and that is why we partnered with local businesses to provide the shuttle. It is a courtesy service we offer to ISU students and anyone wishing to shuttle to the stadium and back to campus.

For Sober Ride Drivers:

• Please immediately call 911 if you have a medical emergency or belligerent person. The Terre Haute Police Department has officers working the walk. Advise them you are driver of for Sober Ride and your location. For problems at the stadium or on ISU’s campus, contact ISU Police directly 812-237-5555 and again advise you are a driver for the Sober Ride bus.
• The bus only picks up passengers at the locations noted below. Sober Ride Bus Stop signs are placed on the light poles at these locations, however, if you are flagged down it is your discretion whether to pick up passengers or not.
• We would like passengers to not be dropped off at bars or bus stops. Please don’t stop a passenger if they insist getting off. Your safety is our primary concern.
