This Labor Day weekend, celebrate responsibly and plan your ride home before the festivities begin.If you plan to drink, don’t drive. Designate a sober driver, use a rideshare, or make other arrangements to get home safely.A great celebration is one where everyone makes it home. Stay safe, make smart choices, and enjoy the holiday weekend!#SafeRoadsNJ
