ND Sober Ride participation increases during St. Patrick’s Day

For Immediate Release: Apr 12 2023

STATEWIDE, N.D. – North Dakotans continue to choose ND Sober Ride to get home safely during their holiday celebrations.  

131 sober rides were provided to Lyft riders during the St. Patrick’s Day weekend, an increase from 72 rides during the same weekend in 2022.

“The public continues to see the importance of getting a sober ride when they celebrate holidays,” said Highway Safety Division Director Karin Mongeon. “North Dakotans are taking personal responsibility when they choose ND Sober Ride and are decreasing the number of impaired drivers on our roadways.”

Rides 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.
