Local celebrants will have a safe option for getting home after imbibing at Halloween festivities this weekend, with an area nonprofit offering 12 hours of free Lyft rides.
From 4 p.m. Saturday until 4 a.m. Sunday, the nonprofit Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) is providing a code to access free rides on the ride-share service Lyft, in an effort to stop “would-be drunk drivers” from getting behind the wheel, .
The effort is known as WRAP’s 2023 Halloween SoberRide program, and comes at a time of year where “nearly half (48%) of U.S. traffic deaths involve drunk drivers,” the release said.
Those wishing to take advantage of a free Lyft from WRAP can access the SoberRide promo code on starting Saturday at 3 p.m. The promo code covers rides up to $15.
鈥淟yft is dedicated to providing access to reliable and responsible rides, and we鈥檙e proud to partner with programs like WRAP to offer Lyft as an alternative to impaired driving,鈥� Kamillah Wood, Director of Public Policy for Community Safety at Lyft, said in the release.
