ND Sober Ride dishes out more rides during Thanksgiving
For Immediate Release: Dec 06 2023
STATEWIDE, N.D. – ND Sober Ride, a program to remove impaired drivers from North Dakota roads, provided 87 sober rides during the Thanksgiving weekend.
This is an increase from the 83 rides given during Thanksgiving in 2022.
“Thanksgiving can be a time when people tend to overindulge in many things, including alcohol,” said Highway Safety Division Director Karin Mongeon. “ND Sober ride offers a solution to impaired driving by offering a discounted ride home. We encourage North Dakotans to utilize codes when available later this December.”
Codes are sponsored by AAA – The Auto Club Group of North Dakota. Companies interested in becoming a part of the solution can sponsor ND Sober Ride by contacting NDDOT at dottrafficgrp@nd.gov
This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
