Officials launched Sober Ride Home in 2024.
A local organization will help people ring in the new year safely.
Tri-County Regional Planning Commission will bring back its Sober Ride Home program for New Year’s Eve, offering Uber vouchers to bar and restaurant patrons.
The organization on Monday announced the restart of the initiative in hopes of deterring drunk driving. Tri-County runs Sober Ride home with a grant from the Federal Highway Administration and the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, and in partnership with Uber and Commute PA.
The program will operate from 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 31 to 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 1 in Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry counties.
Bar and restaurant patrons who have consumed alcohol can visit the Sober Ride home website to scan a QR code for a one-time Uber voucher for $20. Vouchers are available while supplies last. To access a voucher, users must have an active Uber account with a credit card on file.
Sober Ride Home launched in 2024 and has offered vouchers over many holiday weekends.
