A local nonprofit organization will offer free safe rides to would-be drunk drivers throughout the Washington-metropolitan area during this month’s Halloween celebration.
Offered by the nonprofit Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP), the 2023 Halloween SoberRide program will be in operation beginning at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28 and operate until
4:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 29th as a way to keep local roads safe from impaired drivers during this traditionally high-risk period.
During this twelve-hour period, area residents ages 21 and older celebrating with alcohol may download the Lyft app to their phones then enter the SoberRide code in the app’s ‘Payment’ tab (under the ‘Add Lyft Pass’ option) to receive their no-cost (up to $15) safe transportation home. WRAP’s 2023 Halloween SoberRide® promo code will be posted at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28 on www.SoberRide.com.
WRAP also offers its SoberRide® program on St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, Independence Day and the winter holidays through and including New Year’s.
Sponsors of WRAP’s 2023 Halloween SoberRide campaign include 395 Express Lanes, Amazon, Anheuser-Busch, Giant Food, Glory Days Grill, Lyft, Molson Coors Beverage Company, New Belgium Brewing, Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington and the Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association.
Since 1991, WRAP’s SoberRide program has provided 86,805 free safe rides home to would-be drunk drivers in the Greater Washington area.
