May 4 Ride Sober with Lyft for Cinco de Mayo

May the 4th be with You!!

It's the day before Cinco de Mayo and I'm sure you're kicking off the fun on this Star Wars Day. If you read my last post then you have several options for things to do this weekend around the city.

While you're out enjoying all of the Cool Happenings this weekend, Lyft wants Texans to remember to be safe and Ride Sober.

Lyft is launching Sober Rides TX with the support of the Texas Municipal Police Association, and Lyft offering an initial commitment of $50,000 in Sober Rides across Texas.

The ride-sharing company is committed to reducing drinking and driving across Texas by providing a sober ride for passengers.

“Ridesharing is an important solution to a major problem across the state – impaired driving. Lyft is launching Sober Rides TX to encourage responsible choices and incentivize riders to drink responsibly,” stated Kaleb Miller, General Manager for Lyft Gulf Coast. “Lyft’s priority has always been to provide responsible and reliable transportation to the communities it serves; this program will ensure that designated drivers are available on demand in Harris County and across the state."

"We know Houston will be busy this weekend as so many are out celebrating around the city and we want to do everything we can to encourage people who are drinking to not drive," said Chief Samuel Pena, Houston Fire Chief. "We're proud to see Lyft step up to provide Houstonians with a responsible ride home and encourage as many people as possible to take advantage of this great offer."

So, be sure to take advantage of this great offer from Lyft this weekend, and celebrate responsibly! Texans can claim a free ride (up to $10) on Cinco de Mayo here.
