The Washington Regional Alcohol Program is offering free cab rides home tonight in the D.C. area as part of its SoberRide program. To use the service, the caller must be 21 years or older and be going home.
The program will be in service today from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. Fares up to $50 will be free, but callers are responsible for the cost if the ride exceeds the limit. SoberRide can be reached at (800) 200-TAXI or AT&T Wireless users can call #TAXI.
SoberRide offers free rides during major holidays, including St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween and the December holiday season. According to the program’s Web site, the company has provided more than 43,000 rides home to would-be impaired drivers since it began operating in 1993.
