"The night before Thanksgiving has become a popular night out, with so many people heading home for the holidays and meeting up at restaurants and bars," said Andrew Woolf, General Manager for Lyft Pennsylvania. "At Lyft, we want people to get around safely and we hope this Smart Ride program encourages responsible choices throughout the holiday season."

PennDOT reported that from 2012 to 2016, over 800 people died in alcohol-impaired-driving crashes during Thanksgiving weekend, making it the deadliest holiday on our roads.

Lyft Holiday Ride Smart program aims to combat the statistics and encourage responsible choices this season.
