Free Lyft Rides In Herndon Begin Friday Night

The annual Holiday SoberRide program begins Friday night and will last through New Year's Day, meaning you'll be able to get a free Lyft ride worth up to $15 in the D.C. area.

The nonprofit Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) is sponsoring SoberRide. They will post the weekly Holiday SoberRide promo codes on Dec. 15, Dec. 23, and Dec. 31 at SoberRide.com.

“Last December, nearly a thousand (911) Greater Washington residents did the right thing and availed themselves of this lifesaving service rather than possibly driving home impaired,” said Kurt Gregory Erickson, WRAP’s President. “For SoberRide’s hours of operation on New Year's alone, this level of ridership (336) translated into SoberRide removing a would-be drunk driver from Greater Washington’s roadways every one-and-a-half-minutes.”

SoberRide is also available on St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Independence Day, and Halloween.

"Lyft is proud of the role ridesharing has played in reducing impaired driving across the nation. Here in the DC area, partnering with the Washington Regional Alcohol Program allows us to take our commitment to providing safe, convenient, and affordable transportation a step further, particularly during times of the year when people are out celebrating and in need of a ride home," said Steve Taylor, GM, Lyft Washington, D.C.
