SoberRide

If you’re going out tonight to celebrate the New Year, chances are you might need a ride home.

SoberRide will free taxi rides home for a fare up to $30 between 10 p.m. Saturday and 6 a.m. Sunday. Users of the service must call 1-800-200-TAXI to receive the free ride, and rides cannot be ordered in advance.

Callers must be 21 or older to receive the free rides, according to the Washington Regional Alcohol Program, which sponsors the service.

The SoberRide program began this holiday season on Dec. 16. Tonight is the last night for the SoberRide service but it will return for St. Partrick’s Day in March.
