Three counties are once again partnering to offer free and safe rides for Memorial Day weekend through the “Take a Ride on Us” program.
The initiative encourages residents in Bernalillo, Sandoval and Santa Fe counties to plan ahead and avoid driving under the influence during the holiday.
From 10 a.m. on May 23 through 2 a.m. on May 27, riders can open the Uber app, tap “Vouchers”, and enter the code NMMD25 to receive up to $10 off two trips. The offer is valid for up to 2,500 rides and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The discount is limited to Uber rides and does not apply to Uber Eats orders or cover driver tips.
Created by Cumulus Media Albuquerque, “Take a Ride on Us” is made possible through a public-private partnership that includes Bernalillo County, Sandoval County, Santa Fe County, Glasheen Valles & Inderman Injury Lawyers, Sandia Resort & Casino and the New Mexico Department of Transportation. Since launching in 2017, the program has provided more than 61,000 safe rides in the Albuquerque metro area, helping to reduce impaired driving and keep local roads safe during holidays and special events.For more information about Bernalillo County’s DWI prevention program, click here.
