The Washington Regional Alcohol Program, a coalition of local law enforcement and business sponsors, starts its annual winter SoberRide program on Friday.
SoberRide offers free cab rides to would-be drunken drivers during the holiday season. Free rides for up to $30 in cab fare are offered between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. every night, ending the morning of Jan. 1.
The program provided 2,530 free cab rides in the D.C. area last December, according to WRAP President Kurt Gregory Erickson, and a total of 52,841 free cab rides since 1993.
Call 800-200-TAXI for a ride.
