ND Sober Rides increase during St. Patrick’s Day

For Immediate Release: Mar 28 2024
STATEWIDE, N.D. – North Dakotans continue to choose ND Sober Ride to get home safely when they are out celebrating.    
 
167 sober rides were provided to Lyft riders during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend, an increase from 131 rides during the same weekend in 2023.
 
“Choosing ND Sober Ride isn't just about getting from point A to B; It’s the choice that ensures not only your safety but the safety of others on the road. So, whenever codes are available and you’ve celebrated with alcohol, let ND Sober Ride be your designated driver,” said Safety Public Information Program Manager Lauren Wahlman.
 
Rides are sponsored by AAA – The Auto Club Group of North Dakota. Companies interested in becoming a part of the solution can sponsor ND Sober Ride by contacting NDDOT Safety Public Information Program Manager, lwahlman@nd.gov.  
 
This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
