As News Center 7 previously reported, the program offered a voucher for up to $20 off the cost of a ride home to prevent impaired driving.
The ArriveSafe program has been operating since 2007 and has provided nearly 30,000 safe and sober rides home for residents.
It aims to reduce holiday traffic fatalities and impaired driving.
