757 Sober Ride Halloween
757 Sober Ride for the Halloween 2024
Whether you are just celebrating with a few friends or attending a Halloween party, if you plan on using alcohol, legal or illegal substances, never operate a motor vehicle and never let a friend drive if they show signs of impairment. Instead, use Drive Safe HR’s 757 Sober Ride powered by Lyft (https://www.drivesafehr.org/757soberride).
Free or reduced fare rides are being offered to alcohol and drug impaired drivers throughout Hampton Roads this Halloween.
Drive Safe Hampton Roads (DSHR) is sponsoring 757 Sober Ride in four (4) sessions:
- 8 pm Friday, October 25 until 3 am Saturday, October 26 (Session 1)
- 8 pm Saturday, October 26 until Sunday, October 27 (Session 2)
- 8 pm Thursday, October 31 until 3 am Friday, November 1 (Session 3)
- 8 pm Friday, November 1 until 3 am Saturday, November 2 (Session 4)
During the campaign, area residents 21 years and older celebrating with alcohol, legal or illegal drugs may download the Lyft app to their phones, then enter the 757 Sober Ride code in the app’s “Payment” tab (under the “Add Lyft Pass” option) to receive their no-cost (up to $15) safe transportation home. DSHR’s 2024 Halloween 757 Sober Ride codes will be posted at 8 p.m. on Friday, October 25 (session 1), at 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 26 (session 2), at 8 p.m. on Thursday, October 31, 2024 (session 3), and at 8 p.m. on Friday, November 1, 2024 (session 4) at www.DriveSafeHR.org/757-Sober-Ride. The codes can be used only during the appropriate session and are not interchangeable for the different sessions. Rides must originate from and have a destination within Hampton Roads. Subject to Lyft’s Terms of Service. Valid while supplies last. “On average, a DUI can set you back $10,000 in attorney’s fees, fines, court costs, lost time at work, higher insurance rates, car towing, and more.** Drinking and driving is a risk no one should take. If you feel different, you will drive differently. Be smart, plan, and use
757 Sober Ride to get home safely. The life you save may be your own, or someone you love.” said Jonathan Turner, 757 Sober Ride Chairperson. The program is patterned after the highly successful, award-winning SoberRide® program conducted by the non-profit Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP).
To reduce injuries and fatalities in Hampton Roads, DSHR partners with Lyft. Sponsors of DSHR’s 2024-25 757 Sober Ride campaign include the Christopher King Foundation, Huffman & Huffman, Brothers in Law, and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. Drive Safe Hampton Roads (DSHR) is a non-profit regional coalition whose mission is to improve highway safety and reduce injuries and deaths from vehicle crashes. For over 36 years, Drive Safe Hampton Roads has promoted citizen involvement and community awareness as we strive toward zero deaths on our region’s roadways.
