From 6 a.m. on Monday, March 17 through 6 a.m. on Tuesday, March 18, Montgomery County residents will provide vouchers for free Uber rides, up to $20.
Since the program was announced in 2007, over 20,000 free rides have been redeemed.
Prosecutor Mat Heck, Jr. said he started the program after someone in his office was injured by a drunk driver.
“We’ve got to make sure it doesn’t happen and it doesn’t happen. No one intends to be drinking and driving. No one intends to be pulled over and arrested. No one intends to be in a crash or worse, kill someone else or kill themselves. So again, this holiday weekend and St Patrick’s Day, please drink responsibly,” Heck said.
