CHENANGO COUNTY – Chenango County has announced the launch of the new, free “Have a Plan” mobile app that encourages people to have a plan to get home safely if they’re impaired by alcohol or drugs.

The “Have a Plan” app operates on iPhone, Android and Windows platforms, and targets the 18-34 age range with features such as an ability to preload a list of designated drivers, find a taxi cab via GPS, an alcohol impairment estimator, various motor skills tests to assess impairment level, and a ‘Report DWI’ button that connects users to their local 911 service. The app also offers a list of DWI facts and myths, access to STOP-DWI social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, as well as a RSS feed to get the latest news on impaired driving.

“The Have a Plan app will be important in the effort to prevent impaired driving,” said Lawrence Wilcox, Chairman of the Chenango County Board of Supervisors. “We want people to enjoy themselves, but we also want them to get home safely. This app helps its users do that by placing a tool in the hands of a potentially impaired driver to find a safe way home.”
