Safe and Sober Free Ride Home Program
On New Year's Eve 2007, we held our first Safe and Sober Free Ride Home program in Colorado Springs and paid for more than 400 cab rides home to assist in the fight against drunk driving. We encourage everyone to make responsible choices, but if you find yourself in need of a safe way home, we'll pick up the tab. The program runs on St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Halloween, and New Year's Eve, and rides are only good from a bar or restaurant to someone's home, not to other drinking locations.
McDivitt Law Firm has provided nearly 5,000 safe rides home since its first Safe and Sober program on New Year's Eve 2007.
St. Patrick's Day 2012
We'll be offering our Safe and Sober program on Saturday, March 17 from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Remember, rides are for adults from a bar or restaurant to a residence–not another drinking location. Call one of the following cab companies and tell them your ride home is on McDivitt Law Firm:
- Colorado Springs
Call Yellow Cab of Colorado Springs at (719) 777-777. - Pueblo and Pueblo West
Call City Cab Company at (719) 543-2525.
