If you are partying hard on New Year’s Eve, get home safely.
SoberRide, a project of The Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP), is offering its Holiday SoberRide program all through the holidays, up until early on New Year’s Day.
Free cab rides are available for fares up to $30 from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
People who have been drinking and need a safe ride home can get their free ride by calling 1-800-200-TAXI toll-free. Those who have AT&T cellular service can also dial #WRAP to get the service.
“Last December, nearly 1,200 Greater Washington residents did the right thing and availed themselves of this lifesaving service rather than possibly driving home impaired,” said WRAP President Kurt Gregory Erickson in a statement.
Erickson said on New Year’s Eve last year alone, SoberRide gave 420 rides — or removed a would-be drunk driver from the road every 68 seconds.
