Holiday SoberRide Free Cab Program
The period between Thanksgiving and the New Year is the most dangerous and deadliest time for motorists, due to drunk driving accidents.
With heightened law-enforcement and holiday sobriety checkpoints activer across the metro area, it’s best to have a desigante driver. But if you have a bit too much holiday cheer, you and your friends can get home safely by taking advantage of the Holiday SoberRide Program through January 1st.
Would-be or impaired drivers can call for a free cab to take them home, up to a $50 fare, between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. each evening. Riders are responsible for fares exceeding $50.
Drivers 21 or over simply call 1-800-200-8294 (TAXI) from any DC, VA, or MD mobile phone or any local landline or pay phone.
