To address these issues, 24Hour Dallas, a community-based non-profit organization, has utilized public health approaches at the business and city level. Their overarching goals are to reduce drunk driving, violence against women, human trafficking, and general violence or injuries related to alcohol use, all within the nighttime hours of 6pm and 6am through the application of their Good Neighbor initiative and Copper Star certification for businesses. Both the Good Neighbor initiative and the Copper Star certification follow a model from Safe Night LLC, an organization that was built on the premise of The Arlington Restaurant Initiative in Arlington, Virginia.
