ND Sober Ride increases rides given during Halloween weekend
For Immediate Release: Nov 08 2022
STATEWIDE, N.D. – ND Sober Ride, a program to remove impaired drivers from North Dakota roads, provided 143 sober rides during Halloween weekend, October 28-31.
This is an increase from the 84 rides given during Halloween in 2021.
“ND Sober Ride provides the opportunity for those who may overindulge with a sober alternative to getting home. Every rider took personal responsibility by being one less impaired driver on the road, making Halloween that much safer,” said Highway Safety Division Director Karin Mongeon.
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 Safety Public Information Program Manager, lwahlman@nd.gov.
This campaign is part of the Vision Zero strategy to eliminate motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries on North Dakota roads.
